The cafeteria sold 41 corn chips and 80 potato chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Corn chips = x

Potato chips = y

Price of corn chips = $0.80

Price of potato chips = $0.60

According to given statement;

x+y= 121   Eqn 1

0.80x+0.60y=80.80   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 0.80

0.80(x+y= 121)\\0.80x+0.80y=96.80\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(0.80x+0.80y)-(0.80x+0.60y)=96.80-80.80\\0.80x+0.80y-0.80x-0.60y=16\\0.20y=16

Dividing both sides by 0.20

\frac{0.20y}{0.20}=\frac{16}{0.20}\\y=80

Putting y=80 in Eqn 1

x+80=121\\x=121-80\\x=41

The cafeteria sold 41 corn chips and 80 potato chips.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x+2y=1 and passes through the point (-4,3)
serious [3.7K]

First find the slope of the given line:

4x +2y = 1

Subtract 4x from each side:

2y = -4x + 1

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -2x +1/2

The slope is -2.

Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because  the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.

The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2

Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:

y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)

Simplify:

y - 3 = x/2 +2

Add 3 to each side:

y = x/2 + 5

Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5

The answer is D.
