What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5xplus 10 and passes through the point (15,-5)?

Step-by-step explanation:

a general line equation is

y = ax + b

the original line is

y = 3/5 x + 10

the factor of x is always the slope (inclination of the line).

it is "y change/x change".

the slope of a perpendicular line (angle of 90°) is turning the slope of the original line upside-down and flips the sign.

so, it is -5/3.

we use the point information to get the right "b" for our new line :

-5 = -5/3 × 15 + b

-5 = -5×5 + b

-5 = -25 + b

b = 20

so, the perpendicular line equation going through (15, -5) is

y = -5/3 x + 20

iVinArrow [24]

Point S makes the two connected angles the same. They both have right angles.

And one side of each is congruent.

This means you know 2 angles are the same and one side is the same.

You would use ASA (Angle, Side, Angle)

Can someone please help me with this?

Proportional equations are the equations that have the graph which pass through (0,0).

y = -9x is proportional.

y=x is proportional

y=1/2x is proportional

That's it. Only these three equations have (0,0) intercept.

Write an equation for the line parallel to y = -7x + 15 that passes through the point P(9,-6).
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

y = -7x + 57

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel, it will have the same slope. So, this line will also have a slope of -7.

Use y = mx + b, plug in the slope and given point, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

-6 = -7(9) + b

-6 = -63 + b

57 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

y = -7x + 57

So, the equation is y = -7x + 57

Shtirlitz [24]
The solution for this problem is:
The population is 500 times bigger since 8000/24 = 500. The population after t days is computed by:P(t) = P₀·4^(t/49) 
Solve for t: 8000 = 8·4^(t/49) 1000 = 4^(t/49) log₄(1000) = t/49t = 49log₄(1000) ≅ 244 days
