At the local gas station gasoline costs $2.75 for per gallon and diesel costs $3.02 per gallon. Gabriel needs to purchase 15.2 gallons of gasoline for his truck, and 9.5 gallons of diesel fuel for his tractor.

The total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station is $70.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of gasoline per gallon = $2.75

Cost of diesel per gallon = $3.02

Amount of gasoline Gabriel needs = 15.2 gallons

Amount of diesel Gabriel needs = 9.5 gallons

Compute the total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station as follows:

Total Cost = Cost of gasoline × Amount of gasoline

                           + Cost of diesel × Amount of diesel

Thus, the total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station is $70.49.

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
