Answer:

y = -2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

- the altitude trough F is a perpendicular line to the line DE

- find slope of line DE

D ( x2 = -5, y2 = -1); E (x1 = 3, y1 = 3)

slope m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-1-3) / (-5-3) = -4/ -8 = 1/2

-find equation of the altitude trough F

lines that are perpendicular have the slope negative reciprocal (negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)

y= -2x +b , for point F(1, -5)

-5 = -2*1 +b, add 2 to both sides

-5 +2 = b, combine like terms

-3 =b

equation of the altitude trough F is y = -2x -3

16.45 * 0.67 = x

<u>Step 2:  Multiply</u>

16.45 * 0.67 = x

11.02 = x

Answer:  New price is $11.02

Write the ratio of apples to oranges in simplest form please explain. Thanks
Nadya [2.5K]
There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)
