Answer:

The slope a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x+5y=35, is \frac{5}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solve the given equation for y.

4x+5y=35\\\\5y=35-4x\\\\\frac{5y}{5} =\frac{35}{5} -\frac{4x}{5} \\\\y =7 -\frac{4x}{5}\\\\y = -\frac{4}{5}x+7

2. Identify the slope.

The slope of a linear equation is always the number x is being multiplied for. Hence, the value of this equation is -\frac{4}{5} .

3. Find the slope of the perpendicular line.

The slope of a perpendicular line is always the multiplicative and addition reciprocal of the initial function. This means that you will have to invert and fracction, and add the inverse sign before it. Let's do it by parts:

a) Find the multiplicative reciprocal (invert the fraction).

-\frac{5}{4}

b) Put the opposite sign before the fraction.

+\frac{5}{4}

4. Express a result.

The slope a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x+5y=35, is \frac{5}{4}.

enot [183]
916...the 9 is in the hundreds place so its value is 900
791...the 9 is in the tens place so its value is 90

900/90 = 10
so the 9 in 916 is 10 times bigger then the 9 in 791

Twice the difference of a number and six is the same as twelve . Write into algebraic equation
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

2(n-6)=12

(I went too far in my explanation; I'm not going to erase it because I think it is important to have an example on solving these)

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice the difference of a number and 6 is the same as 12.

Twice means 2 times

Difference means the result of subtracting something.

is the same as means equal to (=).

So we are given 2(n-6)=12.

You can start by dividing 2 on both sides are distributing 2 to terms in the ( ).

I will do it both ways and you can pick your favorite.

2(n-6)=12

Divide both sides by 2.

 n-6  =6

Add 6 on both sides

 n     =12

OR!

2(n-6)=12

Distribute 2 to both terms in the ( )

2n-12=12

Add 12 on both sides

2n    =24

Divide both sides by 2

n       =12
