Firdavs [7]2 years ago

Answer:

y=-2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

For one line to be perpendicular to another, their slopes must multiply to -1. So, we really want the line with slope $-1/(1/2)$ = -2$ that passes through the point (1, 7).

Recall the point-slope form of a line. If you have a point $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and a slope m, the line through that point with the given slope is $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$. Plugging in our given point and slope gives our line: y-7=-2(x-1)(point-slope form).

We can convert this line to slope-intercept form, the most common form by expanding the right side and adding 7 to get y by itself:

y-7=-2x+2

y=-2x+5

Pencils that were selling at three for 25 cents are now on sale at five for 29 cents. How much money, in cents, would you save b
natita [175]

Answer:

We would save $1.52 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

3 the pencil were at sale for 25 cent

1 pencil = 25 cent/3 =8.33 cent per one pencil

5 the pencil were at sale for 29 cent

1 pencil = 29 cent/5 =5.8 cent per one pencil

If we bought 60 pencil in group of 3 for 25 cent

=60/3= 20 pencil

25cents * 20 pencil = 500 cent per 60 pencil

If we bought 60 pencil in group of 5 for 29 cent

=60/5= 12 pencil

29cents * 12 pencil = 348 cent per 60 pencil

From the analysis, the 5 pencil for 29 cent is cheaper are we are going to save: 500-348= 152 cents

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 2

The equation is y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price or unit rate is $2

Let y represent the price of tomatoes, then the price of x tomatoes is

y=2x dollars.

This represents a direct variation.

This equation is of the form y=kx, where k=2 is the constant of proportionality.
