Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...
$2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37
16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms
3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16
21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
Answer:
y+2= -1/5(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
if lines are perpendicular their slopes are negative reciprocal
y=mx+b where m is the slope
y=5x-10 has the slope 5 so a perpendicular line will have slope -1/5
equation point slope form
(y-y1) = m(x-x1) where m is slope, and (x1,y1) any point that belongs to the line
y+2= -1/5(x+1)
Two lines that are parallel have the same slope. Thus, find the slope of the line (J) thru (4,2) and (5,1), and that will be the answer to your question.
2-1 1
m = --------- = ------ = -1 (answer)
4-5 -1
