Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the equation to slope-intercept form:

2x - 5y = 7

-5y = -2x + 7

y = 2/5 x - 7/5

So the slope of the given line is 2/5.

So the slope of a perpendicular line will be -1/ 2/5 = -5/2.

Take B:

5x + 2y = 3

2y = -5x + 3

y = -5/2.

So its B.

How to work out the equation

sveta [45]

first, distribute -6 to (2b + 1), giving you -12b - 6, and then on the another side of the equation, distribute -2 to (5 + 4b) giving you, -10 - 8b. now we need to put our coefficients on one side so we will add 8b to each side of the equation, giving us -6 = -10 - 8b + 12b, then we will add 10 to both sides of the equation giving us, 10 -6 = -8b +12b, this gives u 4 = 4b. then, you would solve for b, which equals 1.

Which inequality represents the sentence below? The difference of a number and one and four tenths is more than nine and seventy

Marianna [84]

The inequality represents the sentence below is that the p minus 1. 4 greater-than 9.

<h3>What is the inequality equation?</h3>

Inequality equation is the equation in which the two expressions are compared with greater than, less than or other inequality signs.

Given that the difference of a number and one and four tenths is more than nine and seventy-eight hundredths.

Before solving it, first let's discuss the tenth and hundredths,

Tenth is written as the fractional part of the number 10. The value of one tenth is equal to 1/10 or 0.1.
Hundredths is written as the fractional part of the number 100. The value of one hundredth is equal to 1/100 or 0.01.

Here, the sentence given that the difference of a number and one and four tenths is more than nine and seventy-eight hundredths.

One and four tenths can be written as,

$1\dfrac{4}{10}$

Nine and seventy-eight hundredths can be written as,

$9\dfrac{78}{100}$

Let suppose the number is <em>p</em>. This difference of this number and one four tenths is more than nine and seventy-eight hundredths. Thus,

$p-1\dfrac{4}{10} > 9\dfrac{78}{100}\\p-\dfrac{14}{10} > \dfrac{978}{100}\\p-1.4 > 9.78\\$
