Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the slope of the given equation to the reciprocal to get a perpendicular slope:

y = 1/2x --> -2x

y = -2x + b will be your current equation. To get b, you must insert the given information: (-1, -3)

-3 = -2 (-1) + b

Solve:

-3 = 2 + b

-2 -2

-5 = b

Thus your equation would be y = -2x - 5.

Levart [38]

Answer:

you need 6 cups of raisins, 4 cups of granola and 8 cups of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find how much raisins are needed

For 4.5 cups of fruity granola, we need 1.5 cups of raisins

For 18 cups of fruity granola, we need y cups of raisins

4.5 : 1.5

18 : y

Cross multiply

4.5y = 1.5 x 18

y = 27/4.5

y = 6 cups of raisins

Step 2: Find how much granola is needed

For 4.5 cups of fruity granola, we need 1 cup of granola

For 18 cups of fruity granola, we need y cups of granola

4.5 : 1

18 : y

Cross multiply

4.5y = 18

y = 4 cups of granola

Step 3: Find how much blueberries are needed

For 4.5 cups of fruity granola, we need 2 cups of raisins

For 18 cups of fruity granola, we need y cups of blueberries

4.5 : 2

18 : y

Cross multiply

4.5y = 2 x 18

y = 36/4.5

y = 8 cups of blueberries

Therefore, in order to make 18 cups of fruity granola, you need 6 cups of raisins, 4 cups of granola and 8 cups of blueberries.
