Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Check al

l that apply.
y = –x – 2
2x + 5y = −10
2x − 5y = −10
y + 4 = –(x – 5)
y – 4 = (x + 5)

Find the slope of the line first:
5x - 2y = -6,
y = (5/2)x + 3;
Since we need a line that's perpendicular, m = - (2/5).

The only equation that has the slope of this m is 2x + 5y = -10;

Answer:

Option B) 5y + 2x = -10  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Given equation of line:

5x-2y =-6\\y = \displaystyle\frac{-5x-6}{-2}\\\\y = \frac{5}{2}x + 3

Comparing to the slope intercept form:

y = m_1x +c_1

we get, m_1 = \displaystyle\frac{5}{2}

A line perpendicular will have a slope m_2 such that

m_1.m_2 = -1\\m_2 = \displaystyle\frac{-1}{m_1} = \frac{-2}{5}

The equation of line is given by:

(y-y_0) = m_2(x-x_0)

where m_2 is the slope of line and (x_0,y_0) is a point through which the line passes. It is given that the line passes through the point (5, −4).

Putting all the values we get,

(y +4) = \displaystyle\frac{-2}{5}(x-5)\\\\5(y+4) = -2(x-5)\\5y + 20 = -2x + 10\\5y + 2x=10-20\\5y + 2x = -10

is the required equation of line.

Hence option B) is the correct answer.

Avery’s water bottle holds 300 milliliter. Dashawn’s container holds 3/4 as much water. How many milliliters do both containers
Nady [450]

Answer:

Both containers hold 225 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

300/4 =75 so 1/4 is equal to 75 mL


300-75=225mL


Dashawn's water bottle holds 225mL

Hope this helps! :)

Three people who work full-time are to work together on a project, but their total time on the project is to be equivalent to th
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

  1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the proportion of time the third person spends on the project. You want ...

  1/2 + 1/3 + x = 1 . . . . full-time equivalents

  5/6 + x = 1 . . . . simplify

  x = 1/6 . . . . . . . subtract 5/6

The third person should budget 1/6 of their time to the project.

What's 6/7 written as a fraction with a denominator of 42? A. 36/42 b. 7/42 c. 42/42 d. 6/42
7nadin3 [17]

Pls mark Brainliest.

Answer:

A. 36/42

Step-by-step explanation:

What do you multiply 7 by to get 42?

6. That is what the denominator was multiplied by, and so, the equivalent fraction must have a numerator that is 6 times larger than the original.

6 is the numerator so the numerator of the equivalent fraction with denominator 42 must be 36 since 6 * 6 = 36/

A. 36/42
