What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line of y=-1/4x-1

Mathematics
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: 4

The given line has a slope of -1/4 as this is the number in front of the x. The general equation y = mx+b has m as the slope. So m = -1/4 is given

Flip the sign to get -1/4 turn into +1/4 or just 1/4

Then flip the fraction (aka reciprocal) to go from 1/4 to 4/1 and that simplifies to 4.

Multiplying the original slope (-1/4) and the perpendicular slope (4) will result in -1.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The Chef will prepare 320 soups for a large banquet

Step-by-step explanation:

chef thinks that 2 out of every 5 dinner guests will order soup

===> Order soup / total number of attender

= 2/5

Total guest = 800 ==> 4 people ordered soup is

2 /5 = x /800

cross multiplying

x = 2 x 800 / 5

= 320

The Chef will prepare 320 soups for a large banquet

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
