Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x -10y= 40
Let's rewrite this equation in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c) so that we can obtain it's slope.
10y= 4x -40
Divide both side by 10:
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
⅖(gradient of line)= -1
Gradient of perpendicular line
How many 1/2 inch cubes can fit into a box with sides of 2 inches, 3 inches, and 3 inches.
X + y = 4...x = 4 - y
2x + 3y = 0
2(4-y) + 3y = 0
8 - 2y + 3y = 0
-2y + 3y = 0 - 8
y = -8
x + y = 4
x - 8 = 4
x = 4 + 8
x = 12
solution is : (12,-8)
