Answer:

Weight of empty bottle = 0.8 kg

Weight of water = 1.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

As given , A bottle weighs 1.2 kg when it is 1/4 full of water. It weighs 2.4 kg when it is full.

Let us assume

Weight of empty bottle = x

Weight of water = y

Now,

when the bottle is 1/4 full of water

then,

weight of water = \frac{1}{4}×y

As given , Bottle weight = 1.2 , when it is 1/4 full of water

⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 1.2

⇒ \frac{1}{4}×y + x = 1.2

⇒ y + 4x = 4.8      .......(1)

Also given, A bottle weight = 2.4 , when it is full of water

⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 2.4

⇒ y + x = 2.4        ......(2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we get

y + 4x - ( y+ x) = 4.8 - 2.4

⇒ y + 4x - y - x = 2.4

⇒3x = 2.4

⇒x = \frac{2.4}{3} = 0.8 kg

and y = 2.4 - x = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 kg

∴ we get

Weight of empty bottle = x = 0.8 kg

Weight of water = y = 1.6 kg

Through (-1,5) , perp to y =1/9x+2 write the slope intercept form for the equation
ycow [4]

Answer:

y=-9x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines meet the following condition:

m2*m1= -1 (a)

where m is the slope of a line

m1 is given through equation of line 1, y =1/9 x+2

m2 must be -9 -> from eq. (a)

The Line has the following equation: y=mx+b, where m=-9 and the b is the interception with y axis.

Evaluating the above equation in (-1,5) we have the following equation

5= -9*(-1)+b, we have b=-4

The line has the following equation

y=-9x-4

Slope intercept form
