The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

<h3>What is the Equation of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

The slope values of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

Given that the line is perpendicular to y = 4/5x+23, the slope of y = 4/5x+23 is 4/5. Negative reciprocal of 4/5 is -5/4.

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would have a slope (m) of -5/4.

Plug in m = -5/4 and (x, y) = (-40, 20) into y = mx + b to find b:

20 = -5/4(-40) + b

20 = 50 + b

20 - 50 = b

b = -30

Substitute m = -5/4 and b = -30 into y = mx + b:

y = -5/4x - 30

The equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

Consider the proof.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 4 were proved that \triangle ABC\sim\triangle DEC.

By definition, similar triangles have proportional lengths of corresponding sides. To the side AB corresponds side ED, to the side AC corresponds side DC and to the side BC corresponds side EC. Thus,

\dfrac{AC}{DC}=\dfrac{BC}{EC}.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles of a triangle = 180

x + (180 - 105) + (180 -140) = 180

x + 75 + 40 = 180

x = 180 -75 - 40

x = 65
