The ratio is 9:52. Meaning there is 9 crabs in the tide pool compared to all other invertebrates in the tide pool (including crabs). Crabs are also probably higher on the food chain because there is less of them, meaning they require more food then the other invertebrates.
Hope this helps!
The answer to that would be many
Answer:
y = 2/7x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We start off by putting the original equation into slope-intercept form. Subtract 7x from both sides, then divide both sides by -2. Your new equation should be y = -7/2x - 8. It's important to know that when two lines are perpendicular, their slopes (m) are opposite reciprocals of each other. So -7/2 becomes 2/7. The first part of your final equation is y = 2/7x + b.
Next, we need to find the y intercept (b). You need to plug the x and y values from the given coordinate point (-7,5) into your final equation. You should end up with: 5 = 2/7(-7) + b. Then, solve for b.
5 = -14/7 + b
5 = -2 + b
7 = b
Finally, plug the b value into your final equation and you will have your answer.
