Answer:

<h3>-6</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slope of the first line be m1

Let the slope of the second line be m2

If both lines are perpendicular, then;

m1m2 = -1

Get m1, the slope of the line passing through A (-2, 0) and B (2,-k).

m1 = y2-y1/x2-x1

m1 = -k-0/2-(-2)

m1 = -k/4

Get the slope of the line 3y + 2x = 5

Rewrite the equation;

3y = -2x + 5

y = -2/3 x + 5/3

Hence the slope of the line m2 is -2/3

Since m1m2 = -1, then;

-k/4(-2/3) = -1

2k/12 = -1

k/6 = -1

k = -6

Hence the value of k is -6

You have one type of nut that sells for $4.50/lb and another type of nut that sells for $8.80/lb. You would like to have 12.9 lb
butalik [34]

Answer:

The quantity of first nut = x = 2.4 lb

The quantity of second nut = 12.9 - x = 12.9 - 2.4 = 10.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of first type of nut = x

Amount of second type of nut = 12.9 - x

Total Cost of  first type of nut = 4.5 x

Total Cost of second type of nut = 8.8 × (12.9 -  x)

Total cost of both type of nut = 8 × 12.9

Total cost = Cost of first type of nut + Cost of second type of nut

8 × 12.9 = 4.5 x + 8.8 × (12.9 -  x)

103.2 = 4.5 x + 113.52 - 8.8 x

8.8 x - 4.5 x = 10.32

4.3 x = 10.32

x = 2.4

Therefore the quantity of first nut = x = 2.4 lb

The quantity of second nut = 12.9 - x = 12.9 - 2.4 = 10.5 lb
