Answer:

y= -3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Put -2x + 6y = -4 into slope-interceltp form

Take the negative reciprocal of the slope.

Use this reciprocal in point-slope form

and you have,

= y= -3x + 8

<em>(EDITED)</em> Steps:

2x+6y = -4

6y=2x - 4

y= 1/3x + 2/3

if two lines are perpendicular,

m1 * m2 + -1

1/3 * m2 = -1

m2 = -3

the line perpendicular to this line is

y = -3x + k ; k ∈ R

the line passes through the point (5,-7)

so,

-7 = -3. (5) +k

-7 = -15 + k

k = 8

∴the equation of a line that passes through the point (5,-7) and is perpendicular to the line -2x+6y=-4 is

y= -3x + 8

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

7(4x - 2) - 4(2x - 8)
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

20x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the distributive property, where we essentially take the sum of the product of the outside number with each of the inside terms.

In 7(4x - 2), 7 is the outside number and 4x and -2 are the inside numbers, so:

7(4x - 2) = 7 * 4x + 7 * (-2) = 28x - 14

In 4(2x - 8), 4 is the outside number and 2x and -8 are the inside numbers, so:

4(2x - 8) = 4 * 2x + 4 * (-8) = 8x - 32

Now, we have:

28x - 14 - (8x - 32) = 28x - 14 - 8x + 32 = 20x + 18

The answer is 20x + 18.

Rule set for 18250 , 18500 , 19000 , 20000
Rus_ich [418]
I thought doubling everytime except for the number 19000 because if you do 250 × 2 = 500 so then you do 500×2=1000.

A cafeteria serves lemonade that is made from a powdered drink mix. There is a proportional relationship between the number of s
Vitek1552 [10]

All the answers to the given parts are mentioned below -

<h3>What is the general equation of a Straight line? How it represents a proportional relationship?</h3>

The general equation of a straight line is -

[y] = [m]x + [c]

where -

[m] is slope of line which tells the unit rate of change of [y] with respect to [x].

[c] is the y - intercept i.e. the point where the graph cuts the [y] axis.

y = mx also represents direct proportionality. We can write [m] as -

m = y/x

OR

y₁/x₁ = y₂/x₂

We have a cafeteria serves lemonade that is made from a powdered drink mix. There is a proportional relationship between the number of scoops of powdered drink mix and the amount of water needed to make it. For every 2 scoops of mix, one-half gallon of water is needed, and for every 6 scoops of mix, one and one-half gallons of water are needed.

We can write the proportional relationship as -

y = kx

Now, from the given information, we can write -

2 scoops need 0.5 gallon of water

6 scoops need 1.5 gallon of water

So -

k = 2/0.5

k = 2/(1/2)

k = 2 x 2 = 4

Equations that represents the relationship can be written as -

y = 4x + c

Now, 2 scoops need 0.5 gallon of water.

2 = 4 x 1/2 + c

2 = 2 + c

c = 0

So, the equation will be y = 4x.

Graph of y = 4x is attached at the end.

For 10 scoops of water -

10 = 4x

x = 2.5 gallons of water is needed.

Therefore, all the answers to the given parts are mentioned above.
