Answer:
y = -(1/2)x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the standard form on an equation: y = mx + b
A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line. We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..
1 = -(1/2)(6) + b We must solve for b ( -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)
1 = -3 + b
4 = b
so our equation is
y = -(1/2)x + 4
Answer:
26, 42
Step-by-step explanation:
2, 4, 6, 10, 16
This sequence is 
⇒ the next term is the sum of the previous 2 terms.
Therefore, the next 2 numbers in this sequence would be:
10 + 16 = 26 and 26 + 16 = 42
Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
- Midpoint Formula:
So firstly, let's start with the x-coordinates. Since we know the midpoint's x-coordinate and point A's x-coordinate, we can solve for point B's x-coordinate as such:
Next, do the same thing except solve for the y-coordinate and using point A's y-coordinate and the midpoint's y-coordinate:
<u>Putting it together, point B's coordinates are (2,4).</u>
4 people = 480 grams of pasta
1 person = 480 ÷ 4 = 120 grams of pasta
14 people = 120 x 14 = 1680 grams of pasta
1680g = 1680 ÷ 1000 = 1.68 kg
Answer: 1.68 kg of pasta
