Answer:

Roses= $8.4

Daises= $15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent the daises and let r represent d roses

r + d= 24....equation 1

0.25r + 0.90d= 16.40.......equation 2

r= 25-d

Substitute 25-d for r in equation 2

0.25(25-d) + 0.90d= 16.40

6.25-0.25d+0.90d= 16.40

6.25+0.65d= 16.40

0.65d= 16.40-6.25

0.65d= 10.15

d= 10.15/0.65

d = 15.6

Sub 15.6 for d in equation 1

r+d= 24

r+15.6= 24

r= 24-15.6

= 8.4

Price of daises is $15.6

Roses is $8.4

What is the equation of this line in standard form? 8x−7y=−25 8x−9y=23 8x−9y=−23 9x−8y=23 Number graph ranging from negative fiv

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The equation of line is:

$8x-9y=-23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a graph is a that passes through two points:

$(-4,-1)$ and $(\dfrac{1}{2},3)$

We know that the equation of line passing through two points:

$(a,b)$ and $(c,d)$ is given by:

$y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{b-a}\times (x-a)$

Here we have:

$(a,b)=(-4,-1)$ and $(c,d)=(\dfrac{1}{2},3)$

Hence, the equation of line is:

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{3-(-1)}{\dfrac{1}{2}-(-4)}\times (x-(-4))\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3+1}{\dfrac{1}{2}+4}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{9}{2}}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{4\times 2}{9}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{8}{9}\times (x+4)\\\\9\times (y+1)=8\times (x+4)\\\\9y+9=8x+8\times 4\\\\9y+9=8x+32\\\\8x-9y=9-32\\\\8x-9y=-23$

Hence the equation of line is:

$8x-9y=-23$

What is the point-slope form of the equation for the line with a slope of -2 that passes through (1,4)?

morpeh [17]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-4=-2(x-1)$

5. Find the value(s) of x so that the line containing the points (2x + 3, x + 2) and (0, 2) is

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

x = -2 or -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the values of x such that the line defined by the two points (2x+3, x+2) and (0, 2) is perpendicular to the line defined by the two points (x+2, -3-3x) and (8, -1).

<h3>Slope</h3>

The slope of a line is given by the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Using the formula, the slopes of the two lines are ...

m1 = (2 -(x+2))/(0 -(2x+3)) = (-x)/(-2x-3) = x/(2x +3)

and

m2 = (-1 -(-3-3x))/(8 -(x+2)) = (2+3x)/(6 -x)

<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>

The slopes of perpendicular lines have product of -1:

$\dfrac{x}{2x+3}\cdot\dfrac{2+3x}{6-x}=-1\\\\x(3x+2)=(2x+3)(x-6)\qquad\text{multiply by $(2x+3)(6-x)$}\\\\3x^2+2x=2x^2-9x-18\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\x^2+11x+18=0\qquad\text{put in standard form}\\\\(x+2)(x+9)=0\qquad\text{factor}$
