Answer: y=-3x+29

Step-by-step explanation:

First put in y-intercept form to find the slope

$4x-12y=2\\-12y=-4x+2\\y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{6}$

Slope of the 1st equation is 1/3- the slope of the line perpendicular is the opposite reciprocal, so in the case it is -3

Use the point and the new slope to write the new equation in point slope format

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-(-1)=-3(x-10)\\y+1=-3x+30\\y=-3x+29$

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t

Hoochie [10]

Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.

We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120

We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234

You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360

See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75

Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75

Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.

So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.

Jonah’s Restaurant reports net income of $20,000 during the year 2015. It distributes a dividend of $6,000 to its shareholders.

AlekseyPX

Retention ratio = (net income - dividends) / net income

retention ratio = (20,000 - 6000) / 20000 = 14,000/20,000 = 0.7 = 70%

Convert 75 percent to a decimal

Crank

To convert to a decimal, divide by 100.

75 / 100 = .75
