Rearrange the equation into slope intercept form
7x+3y=18
3y=-7x+18
y=-7x/3+18/3 so the slope of the reference line is -7/3
To be perpendicular to this line the slope must be the negative reciprocal of this...mathematically m1*m2=-1. So the slope of our perpendicular line is:
-7m/3=-1
-7m=-3
m=3/7 so our line so far is:
y=3x/7+b, using point (6,8) we can solve for b, the y-intercept
8=3(6)/7+b
8=18/7+b
56/7-18/7=b
38/7=b so our line is:
y=3x/7+38/7 or if you prefer
y=(3x+38)/7
Answer:
20 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Sectioned it off and multiplied the length by the width
4x+7y=4.88 -> mult by -3 -> -12x-21y=-14.64
12x+8y=7.88
-12x-21y=-14.64
Add the two above equations together, the y will be left:
-13y=-6.76
y=0.52 —> cost of each apple (plug back into one of original equations, I chose 4x+7y=4.88:
4x+7(0.52)=4.88
Solve for x.
x=0.31 —> cost of each orange
I can't read the text either, can you zoom in a bit?
