2 1/2 pounds is more. Since there are 16 oz in a pound, you want to multiply 16 by 2.5, to equal 40 oz. 40>36

Joni has a circular garden with a diameter of 14 1/2 feet if she uses 2 teaspoons of fertilizer for every 25 square feet of gard

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

13.20 teaspoon of fertiliser needed for entire garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the garden = 14.50 ft

Radius of the garden = 7.25 ft

Area

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]A=3.14 \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

Hence

[tex]A=165.046[/text]

Area is 165.046 Sq Ft

For 25 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 2 tea spoon

For 1 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2}{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2 \times 165.046 }{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 13.20 tea spoon

The point (1, –5) is reflected across the y-axis. A coordinate plane. What are its new coordinates?

luda_lava [24]

<h3>Answer: Choice C. (-1, -5)</h3>

Explanation:

The reflection rule we use is

$(x,y) \to (-x, y)$

when we want to reflect over the y axis. The x coordinate flips from positive to negative, or vice versa, while the y coordinate stays the same.

Therefore, $(1, -5) \to (-1, -5)$

Consider the line y = 7x-9.

KatRina [158]

$y = \frac{-1}{7}x -\frac{8}{7}$ is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)

y = 7x - 44 equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that line is:</u></em>

y = 7x - 9

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + b ------ eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y intercept

On comparing eqn 1 with y = 7x - 9 we get,

m = 7

<h3><u>Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)</u></h3>

We know that,

Product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to given is always -1

Therefore,

$7 \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = \frac{-1}{7}$

Now find the equation of line:

$\text{ Substitute } m = \frac{-1}{7} \text{ and } (x, y) = (6, -2) \text{ in eqn 1}$

$-2 = \frac{-1}{7} \times 6 + b\\\\-2 = \frac{-6}{7} + b\\\\b = -2+\frac{6}{7}\\\\b = \frac{-14+6}{7}\\\\b = \frac{-8}{7}$

$\text{Substitute } m = \frac{-1}{7} \text{ and } b = \frac{-8}{7} \text{ in eqn 1}\\\\y = \frac{-1}{7}x -\frac{8}{7}$

Thus the equation of line perpendicular to given line is found

<h3><u>Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)</u></h3>

Slopes of parallel lines are equal

Therefore, m = 7

<em><u>Substitute m = 7 and (x, y) = (6, -2) in eqn 1</u></em>

-2 = 7(6) + b

-2 = 42 + b

b = -44

<em><u>Substitute m = 7 and b = -44 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = 7x - 44

Thus equation of line parallel to given line is found
