Y = -1/5x + 2
A line perpendicular to another line has an opposite reciprocal slope. What opposite means is that you flip the sign (from - to + or from + to -) and reciprocal means that you flip the numerator and denominator (so if line A is perpendicular to line B and line As slope is -3, line Bs slope would be 1/3).
First find the slope of 5x - y = -3
Add y to both sides
5x = y - 3
Add 3 to both sides
y = 5x + 3
So the slope of the line is 5. That means the slope of of the perpendicular line is -1/5.
Plug the slope of the perpendicular line and the point (5, 1) into point slope form to solve the equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1/5(x - 5)
y - 1 = -1/5x + 1
y = -1/5x + 2
Answer:
5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
(4,9) (-8, -6)
plug in
(-6 - 9) / (-8 - 4)
solve within parentheses
-15/-12
simplify
5/4
Answer:
5/16
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to change the mixed number to an improper fraction to find the reciprocal
3 1/5 = (5*3+1)/5 = 16/5
The reciprocal of 16/5 is found by flipping the fraction
5/16
There are three friends and 4 cups. Each friend can have a whole cup each and need to split the last cup 3 ways (1/3)
Each friend would get 1 cup and 1/3 of a cup
(I hope I’m right~)
