Answer:
y = -1/3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular, the signs of the slope must be opposite and the slopes are reciprocals.
(basically if one is say -2/3, the other is 3/2. just flip it upside down)
So this slope is 3, so the new slope should be -1/3
The equation is now y = -1/3x + b
To find b, substitute (-9,5) in the equation
y = -1/3x + b
5 = -1/3(9) + b
5 = -3 + b
8 = b
So the equation is y = -1/3x + b
Answer:
Mary potted 26 of the plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
74 - 48 = 26
8 / 2 = 45 / x....8 servings to 2 cups = 45 servings to x cups
cross multiply
(8)(x) = (2)(45)
8x = 90
x = 90/8
x = 11 1/4 (or 11.25) cups of flour are needed <==

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must find the total boxes of pens
15 + 9 = 24
Then we can divide the total cost by the total number of boxes of pens
$72 / 24 boxes = 3
