Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

Answer:

2. 3.913 kg (3 dp)

3. light cream

4. 240 CoffeeStops

5. 7 CoffeeStops per square mile

6. 2,861 cups of coffee each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Skim milk density at 20 °C = 1.033 kg/l
Light cream density at 20 °C = 1.012 kg/l
1 liter = 0.264 gallons

<u>Question 2</u>

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{1 gallon} & = \sf \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:liters\\\\\implies \textsf{Mass (1 gallon of skim milk)} & = \sf Density \times Volume\\& = \sf 1.033\:kg/l \times \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:l\\& = \sf 3.913\:kg\:(3\:dp)\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the mass of 1 gallon of skim milk is 3.913 kg (3 dp)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Question 3</u>

Given:

Volume of liquid = 9 liters
Mass of liquid = 9.108 kg

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Density & = \sf \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{9.108\:kg}{9\:l}\\\\& = \sf 1.012\:kg/l \end{alilgned}$

Therefore, the container holds light cream.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Question 4</u>

Given:

15 CoffeeStops per 100,000 people
Population of Manhattan ≈ 1,602,000 people

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Number of Coffeestops} & = \sf \dfrac{population}{density}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000/15}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000} \times 15\\\\& = \sf 240.3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, there are 240 CoffeeStops.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Question 5</u>

Given

Manhattan ≈ 34 square miles

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{CoffeeStops density} & = \sf \dfrac{number\:of\:stores}{land\:area}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{240}{34}\\\\& \approx \sf 7 \: \textsf{CoffeeStops per square mile}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the density of CoffeeStops is 7 per square mile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Question 6</u>

Given:

Each person buys 3 cups of coffee per week

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served each week} & = \textsf{number of people} \times \textsf{number of cups per week}\\& = \sf 1,602,000 \times 3\\& = \sf 4,806,000\: \textsf{cups per week}\\\\\implies \textsf{Cups per day} & = \sf \dfrac{\textsf{cups per week}}{\textsf{days in a week}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{4,806,000}{7}\\\\& = \sf 686,571\:\textsf{(nearest whole number)}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served per day per shop} & = \dfrac{\textsf{cups per day}}{\textsf{number of shops}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{686,571}{240}\\\\& = \sf 2,861\: \textsf{(nearest whole number)} \end{aligned}$

Therefore, each Manhattan CoffeeStop serves approximately 2,861 cups of coffee each day.

Omar works as a tutor for $15 an hour and as a waiter for $7 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 83 hours at his

Alborosie

Answer: $8t+581$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Omar works as a tutor for $15 an hour and as a waiter for $7 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 83 hours at his two jobs. Let "t" be the number of hours Omar worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he earned this month."</h3><h3 />

Let be "t" the number of hours Omar worked as a tutor this month and "w" the number of hours Omar worked as a waiter this month.

Based on the data given in the exercise, you know that Omar worked a combined total of 83 hours this month.

Then, you can represent the number of hours he worked as a waiter this month with this equation:

$w=83-t$

Since he earns $15 per hour working has a tutor and $7 per hour working as a waiter, you can write the following expresion to represent the total money earned:

$15t+7w$

Since $w=83-t$ , you can substitute it into the expression and then simplify it in order to find the final expression that represents the total amount of money Omar earned this month.

This is:

$15t+7(83-t)=15t+581-7t=8t+581$
