Answer:

y-9 = -1/12(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation of a line perpendicular to the graph of y = 12x-3 and passing through the point, we will follow the following steps.

The standard form of point-slope form of the equation of a line is  given as

y − y1 = m(x − x1),

m is the slope of the unknown line

(x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Step 1: We need to calculate the slope of the known line first,

Given y = 12x-3

from the equation, m = 12 on comparison.

Step 2: get the slope of the unknown line. since the line given is perpendicular to the line y = 12x - 3, the product of their slope will be -1 i.e Mm = -1

M = -1/m

M is the slope of the unknown line

M = -1/12

Step 3: We will substitute M = -1/12 and the point (8, 9) into the point-slope form of the equation of a line i.e y − y1 = M(x − x1),

M = -1/12, x1 = 8 and y1 = 9

y-9 = -1/12(x-8)

Nelson needs 3 and 3/4 cups of flour to make a loaf of bread and 2 and 2/3 cups of flour to make pretzels. How many cups of flou
matrenka [14]

Answer:

that is 6 and 5/ 12 cups of flour are required

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of cups required to make a loaf of bread

= 3 + ¾

making their denominators equal and that to 4

= 12/ 4 + 3/ 4

adding numerators

= (12 + 3)/ 4

= 15/ 4

total cups of flour required to make pretzels

= 2 + ⅔

making their denominators equal and that to 3

= 6/ 3 + 2/ 3

adding nunerators

= (6 + 2)/ 3

= 8/ 3

Total cups required:-

= 15/ 4 + 8/ 3

taking lcm of denominators to make the fractions equivalent

= {(15 × 3) + (8 × 4)}/ 12

= {45 + 32}/ 12

= 77/ 12

6 \frac{5}{ 12}

<em>that is 6 and 5/ 12 cups of flour are required</em>.
