The line through that point and the origin has a slope of -1. It is perpendicular to the line you want, so the line you want has slope +1. Its equation can be written as
.. y = (x -4) -4
or, in standard form
.. x - y = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What you've provided is only a function. What's the complete question?
x-intercept = (15, 0) y-intercept = (0, 3)
slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (0 - 3)/(15 - 0) = -3/15 = -1/5
Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where (x₁, y₁) is one of the given points
y - 0 = (-1/5)(x - 15)
-5y = x - 15
x + 5y = 15
Answer: x + 5y = 15
Write a proportion like so:
4 gallons/30 plants= x gallons/45 plants
Cross multiply to find the value of x
4*45= 180
180/30= 6=x
Final answer: 6 gallons
