Answer : 1/2 gallon

Explanation:

There were a total of 5 gallons collected, as the question states.

There are 3 x's above 1/4, 2 x's above 3/8, 4 x's above 5/8 and 1 x above 1. This is a total of

3+2+4+1 = 10 x's. This means there were 10 trees.

If 5 gallons is evenly distributed among 10 trees, this would give us the ratio 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2 gallon per tree.

....this answer is not from me. The same question was asked on brainy and I've copy pated it, it is the right answer tho. Credit goes to "MsEHolt" for answering.

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=9 that passes through (-2,5). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S

Harman [31]

ANSWER

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

$2x + 3y = 9$

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,

$3y = - 2x + 9$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - \frac{2}{3}x + 3$

The slope of this line is

$m_1 = - \frac{2}{3}$
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

$m_2$

Then
$m_1 \times m_2 = - 1$

$- \frac{2}{3} m_2= - 1$

This implies that,

$m_2 = - 1 \times - \frac{3}{2}$

$m_2 = \frac{3}{2}$

Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

$y = mx + b$

We substitute the slope to get,

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Since this line passes through
$(-2,5)$
it must satisfy its equation.

This means that,

$5= \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b$

$5 = - 3 + b$

$5 + 3 = b$

$b = 8$

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$
