Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+\dfrac{19}{9}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===================================\\\\\text{We have the equation i the standard form.}\\\text{ Convert it to the slope-intercept form}\ y=mx+b:\\\\5x+9y=-9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\9y=-5x-9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{5}{9}x-1\to m_1=-\dfrac{5}{9}\\\\m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-\frac{5}{9}}=\dfrac{9}{5}

\text{We have the equation:}\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (-2, 1) to the equation:}\\\\1=\dfrac{5}{9}(-2)+b\\\\1=-\dfrac{10}{9}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{5}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{19}{9}=b\to b=\dfrac{19}{9}

Hannah is at the supermarket to buy carrots and potatoes. If she buys 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes, it will cost
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.

Buying 2 pounds of carrots  and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ (2\times x + 3\times y)

and

Buying 4 pounds of carrots and 4 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ (4\times x + 4\times y)

According to the question,

(2\times x + 3\times y) = 8-----(1)

(4\times x + 4\times y) = 13-----(2)

multiplying (1) by 2 we get,

(4\times x + 6\times y) = 16-----(3)

Deducting (2) from (3) we get,

2\times y = 3

⇒ y = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5------------------(4)

Putting value of y in (1) we get,

(2\times x = 8 - 3\times 1.5) = 3.5

⇒  x =\frac{3.5}{2} = 1.75 ------------(5)
