B.) Hibiscus Street
The key thing to remember is the slope of the lines. The equation for a line in slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
where
a = slope
b = y intercept
So the equation for Oak Street is y = 2/3x - 7. So it's slope is 2/3. And any street that has the same slope will be given a tree name. And any street that's perpendicular will be given a flower name. You can determine is a line is perpendicular if it has a slope that's the negative reciprocal. So a street that's perpendicular to Oak street will have a slope of -3/2.
Now you've just been given the equation to a new street that's y = -3/2x - 2. Since the slope is -3/2 and Oak street has a slope of 2/3, the new street is perpendicular to Oak street. And given the naming scheme, that means that the new street will have the name of a flower. So let's look at the available street names and pick a flower.

A.) Weeping Willow Street
* Nope a Weeping Willow is a tree. So this name won't work.
B.) Hibiscus Street
* Yes. A Hibiscus is a flower, so this name is suitable.
C.) Oak Street
* Nope. Not only is this a tree instead of a flower, but there's already an Oak street. So bad choice.
D.) Panther Street
* Nope, this is an animal, not a flower. Bad choice.

Answer:
wait what?? lol i dont get this question-
3/5 =6/10, so 6/10-1/10 = 5/10 =200. 1/2 of 200=100, so mrs.kleein made 400 fruit buns in all.
Answer:
Option B. house B; monthly payment of $1,550.89 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the highest payment Pete can afford we have to subtract his expenses from his housing budget.
Given
Total housing budget = $2250
Monthly costs = $215.75
Utilities = $143.50
Taxes = $273
First all expenses can be added together to subtract from the housing budget.
So
Now the total monthly cost will be subtracted from housing budget.
Hence, he saves $1617.75 for monthly payment.
Looking at the options, C and D will be ruled out as both the quantities are greater than 1617.75
Option A and B both are smaller than 1617.75 but as $1,550.89>$1,327.18, Option B is the highest monthly payment Pete can afford.
Hence,
Option B. house B; monthly payment of $1,550.89 is the correct answer.
