8x + 5y = 2   →   5y = - 8x + 2   →   y = (-8/5)x + 2  ⇒ m = -8/5

perpendicular slope = 5/8

Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  ; where (x₁, y₁) is the given point

y - (-7) = (5/8)(x - 2)

y + 7 = (5/8)(x - 2)

8(y + 7) = 5(x - 2)

8y + 56 = 5x - 10

8y + 66 = 5x

        66 = 5x - 8y   ⇒   5x - 8y = 66

Answer: 5x - 8y = 66

HELP WITH NUMBER 13 please
amid [387]

Answer: QE = 10

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, it's important to understand that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

This means that E is the midpoint of diagonal SQ.

So we can setup the equation x² + 9x = 4x + 6.

To solve this polynomial equation, set it equal to zero first.

So we have x² + 5x - 6 = 0 and we get (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0

when we factor the left side of the equation.

So this means that x = -6 or x = 1.

However, -6 will give us a negative length when we plug it in

to find QE so this will not work.

However, plugging 1 in will give us 10 as a length so QE = 10.
