There is currently a linear bike path that goes through the points (4, 0) and (7, 4). The park commission is planning to build a new bike path that is parallel to the old one that passes through the point (2, 5).

The vector matrix [2/7] is dilated by a favor of 1.5 and then reflected across the x axis. if the resulting matrix is [a/b] then a= and b=

Anyone know? is appreciated! will mark brainliest if correct!

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
