Answer:

Marissa.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find perpendicular slope you basically take the slope of the given line and reverse whatever sign it had previously. (If it was negative, it would become positive. If it was positive it would become negative.)

By doing -A/B it make the previous slope negative.

Brandon only flipped the fraction which would just result in the slope being slightly steeper, or in this case, less steep than the previous line, rather than making it perpendicular.

Hope this helps! Stay safe and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two size: the combined weight of a large box and a small box is 65 pounds. The truck i

Bas_tet [7]

pretty much about the same as before.

a = weight of a large box

b = weight of a small box.

we know their combined weight is 65 lbs, thus a + b = 65.

we also know that the truck has 60 large ones, and 55 small ones, thus 60*a is the total weight for the large ones and 55*b is the total weight for the small ones, and we know that is a total of 3775, 60a + 55b = 3775.

$\bf \begin{cases} a+b=65\\ \boxed{b}=65-a\\ \cline{1-1} 60a+55b=3775 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{60a+55\left( \boxed{65-a} \right)=3775} \\\\\\ 60a+3575-55a=3775\implies 5a+3575=3775\implies 5a=200 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies \blacktriangleright a = 40 \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=65-a\implies }b=65-40\implies \blacktriangleright b=25\blacktriangleleft$

Identify the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line 2x -5y =20

alexdok [17]

To find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 5y = 20
2x - 5(0) = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10....x intercept is (10,0)

to find the y intercept, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
2x - 5y = 20
2(0) - 5y = 20
-5y = 20
y = -20/5
y = -4....y intercept is (0,-4)
