<h2><u>Solution (1)</u> :</h2>
Given, to find A we have to :
- square m
- Add y to m²
- Subtract 7 from m² + y
From the question, the following equation can be formed :

Therefore, the formula for finding A = m² + y - 7
<h2><u>Solution (2)</u> :</h2>
The value of A we can derive from the formula is :

Value of m = 3 (given)
Which means :




Thus, the value of A = 2+y
Therefore, the value of A = <u>2+y</u>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation

comparing the equation with the slope-intercept form
Here,
so the slope of the line is m = -2/5
As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line,
so the slope of the perpendicular line will be: 5/2
Therefore, the point-slope form of the equation of the perpendicular line that goes through (2,-8) is:



subtract 8 from both sides


4 1/2 + 3 1/4 + 2 1/4 = 10 pounds of apples.
10 pounds is approximately 4.5 kilograms.
