Answer:

C. $16.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per pound of salmon be represented by x

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y

Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25

2.5 × x + 1.25× y = $31.25

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

The swordfish costs $0.20 per pound less than the salmon.

y = x - 0.20

Hence, we substitute

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25(x - 0.20) = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25x - 0.25 = 31.25

2.5x + 1.25x = 31.25 + 0.25

3.75x = 31.5

x = 31.5/3.75

x = $8.4

The cost per pound of salmon be represented by x = $8.4

y = x - 0.20

y = 8.4 - 0.20

y = $8.2

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y = $8.2

The cost of a pound of salmon and sword fish

= $8.4 + $8.2

=$16.60

2) The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are A(-1,8),
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of vertices of A'B'C'D' are:

A'(1,-8), B'(0,-4), C'(2,-1) and D'(4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point (h,k) is roated 180 degrees about the origin it becomes (-h,-k) which means that the new point after rotation is the negative of the previous.

Given vertices are:

A(-1,8),  B(0,4), C(-2,1), and D(-4,3)

The new vertices will be:

A(-1,8) => A'(1,-8)\\B(0,4)=> B'(0,-4)\\C(-2,1)=> C'(2,-1)\\D(-4,3)=> D'(4,-3)

The coordinates of vertices of A'B'C'D' are:

A'(1,-8), B'(0,-4), C'(2,-1) and D'(4,-3)

Answer:

y = - 8 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two pairs to find the slope with

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

for example:  (0, 2), and (1, -6)

slope = (- 6 - 2) / (1 - 0) = - 8

so the equation should look like:

y = -8 x + b

use point (0, 2) to find b:

2 = - 8 (0) + b

b = 2

Then

y = - 8 x + 2
