Answer:
y = 2/5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines are lines which have negative reciprocal slopes of each other.
The line y = -5/2 x + 2 has slope -5/2. Therefore its perpendicular slope will be 2/5.
The equation can cross anywhere on the y-axis for its y-intercept since no specific point is given. Here I chose (0,0).
y = 2/5x
John's function : y = 3.5x - 4
Penny's function : y = 3x + 4
C. John's function has a greater rate of change, because 3.5 > 3

Answer:
years worked: 14
at least 10 years: 73%
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is found by adding the years of service and dividing by the number of employees. The total years of service is 417, so the average is ...
average years worked = 417/30 = 13.9 ≈ 14 . . . years
__
The percentage of employees that have worked there at least 10 years is found by counting the number with 10 or more years of service and dividing that count by the total number of employees. The result is then expressed as a percentage.
(10 years or over)/(total number) = 22/30 = 0.73_3 (a repeating decimal) ≈ 73%

Comment on the working
A spreadsheet can be helpful for this. It has a function that can calculate the mean for you. Sorting the years of service into order can make it trivially easy to count the number that are 10 or more, or you can write a function that will do the count for you. (Also, less than 10 means the years are a single digit. There are 8 single-digit numbers in your list.) The hard part is copying 30 numbers without error.
Answer: 4 apples for $3.64
Step-by-step explanation:
The best buy is going to be the one that costs the least. To figure this out, you divide the number of apples by the price. (do not round)
4/3.64=1.09
9/8.01=1.23
14/12.43=1.12
24/21.12=1.13
As you can see, the 4 apples for $3.64 is the better choice since the number is the least.
