What is the equation of a line perpendicular to y=-2/5X-1 that passes through (2,-8)
AysviL [449]

Answer:

y=\frac{5}{2}x-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

comparing the equation with the slope-intercept formy=mx+b

Here,

  • m is the slope
  • b is the intercept

so the slope of the line is m = -2/5

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line,

so  the slope of the perpendicular line will be: 5/2

Therefore, the point-slope form of the equation of the perpendicular line that goes through (2,-8) is:

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y-\left(-8\right)=\frac{5}{2}\left(x-2\right)

y+8=\frac{5}{2}\left(x-2\right)

subtract 8 from both sides

y+8-8=\frac{5}{2}\left(x-2\right)-8

y=\frac{5}{2}x-13

Answer:

21. 123    22. 6.86 or 6/ 6/7  23. 90

Step-by-step explanation:

21. (6+4)² + (22+10÷2)

     (10)² + (22 + 5)

        100 + 27

           127

22. (11+42-5) ÷ (11-4)

Please Help ASAP! Will name Brainliest! Question: Minimize the objective function P = 5x + 8y for the given constraints. x ≥ 0 y
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimize the objective function P = 5x + 8y for the given constraints.

x\geq 0,y\geq 0

2x+3y\geq 15

3x+2y\geq 15

The related equations of above inequalities are

2x+3y=15

3x+2y=15

For 2x+3y=15,

x     y

0     5

7.5   0  

Plot (0,5) and (7.5,0) and join them by straight line.

For 3x+2y=15,

x     y

0     7.5

5      0  

Plot (0,7.5) and (5,0) and join them by straight line.

Check the inequalities for (0,0).

2(0)+3(0)\geq 15\Rightarrow 0\geq 15 False

3(0)+2(0)\geq 15\Rightarrow 0\geq 15 False

It means both lines are solid lines and shaded region for each lies opposite side of (0,0).

From the below graph it is clear that the vertices of feasible region are (0,7.5), (3,3), (7.5,0).

Point       P = 5x + 8y

(0,7.5)     P=5(0)+8(7.5)=60

(3,3)     P=5(3)+8(3)=15+24=39

(7.5,0)     P=5(7.5)+8(0)=37.5 (Minimum)

So, minimum value is 37.5.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Which equation is equivalent to 16 Superscript 2 p Baseline = 32 Superscript p 3?.
Mrac [35]

The equation which is equivalent to 16 Superscript 2 p Baseline equal to 32 Superscript p 3 is,

2^{8p}=2^{5p+15}

<h3>What is equivalent equation?</h3>

Equivalent equation are the expression whose result is equal to the original expression, but the way of representation is different.

Given information-

The given equation in the problem is,

16^{2p}=32^{p+3}

Write both the equation in the form of same base number as,

(2^4)^{2p}=(2^5)^{p+3}

The power of the power of a number can be written as product of both the numbers. Thus,

(2)^{4\times2p}=(2)^{5\times(p+3)}\\2^{8P}=2^{5P+15}

This is the required equation.

Now if the base is the same at both side of the expression, then the powers can be compared. Thus,

8p=5p+15

Solve it further to find the value of p as,

8p-5p=15\\3p=15\\p=5

Thus the equation which is equivalent to 16 Superscript 2 p Baseline equal to 32 Superscript p 3 is,

2^{8p}=2^{5p+15}
