Let x = the amount of grapes that can be bought for 0.40.
Note: By 90 I assume you mean 90 cents. The same for 40.
12/x = 0.90/0.40
0.90x = 12(0.40)
0.90x = 4.80
x = 4.80 ÷ 0.90
x = 5.33333
We can round the decimal to the ones place to get 5 grapes.
Let is the answer for the question
Answer:
The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this, start by finding the slope of the original line. You can do this by solving for y.
2x - 3y = 12
-3y = -2x + 12
y = 2/3x - 4
Now that we have a slope of 2/3, we know that the perpendicular slope is -3/2 (since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes). We can use this and the new point in point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 6 = -3/2(x - 2)
y - 6 = -3/2x + 3
y = -3/2x + 9
