Answer:
Exact form: 11/2
Decimal form: 5.5
Mixed number form: 5 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that :
Ф Product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other should be equal to -1
Let the slope of the line perpendicular to given line be : M
Given equation of the line : y = -1/2x + 4
This line is in the form : y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept
Comparing with y = mx + c :
we can notice that slope of the given line is -1/2
⇒ M × -1/2 = -1
⇒ M × 1/2 = 1
⇒ M = 2
<u>Answer</u> : Slope of the line perpendicular to given line is 2
The solution for this problem is:
If there is 60 platters of B at a cost of $720:
(220 - 60 x 3) / 4 = 10 platters of A to make up for the deficit in hamburgers
(270 - 60 x 4) / 3 = 10 platters of A to make up for the deficit in hot dogs
(250 - 60 x 5) / 2 = 0 platters of A since there is no deficit in pigs feet
So 10 platters A are required at a cost of $150. $720 + $150 = for a total minimum cost of $870.
