a pound of chocolate costs 8 dollars. Felipe buys p pounds. write an equation to represent the total cost c that felipe pays

c=8p

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that 1 pound of chocolate will cost $8. Felipe is going to buy "p" pounds of chocolate, and "p" means "any number"; so Felipe is going to buy any number of pounds of chocolate.

The formula we would use to calculate this is cost of one pound of chocolate multiplied by number of pounds of chocolate. And the way we can form this algebraically is by writing c=8p.

The "c" stands for total cost and we don't have to put the multiply sign when using algebra, as long as the figures are touching.

answer: can and shows the work

step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
