In y - y1 = m(x - x1) form, the slope will be in the m position. So in ur equation, which is in that form, the number in the m position (the slope) is 5/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the original slope and change the sign. So with our slope of 5/2.....we flip it making it 2/5....we change the sign making it -2/5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/5
(-7,8)....x = -7 and y = 8
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
8 = -2/5(-7) + b
8 = 14/5 + b
8 - 14/5 = b
40/5 - 14/5 = b
26/5 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2/5x + 26/5 <==

​Which values are solutions to the inequality? ​ ​5r≤6r−8​ ​ Select each correct answer. r = 7 r = 8 r = 9 r = 10
Ratling [72]

Answer:

r = 8,9,10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is :

​5r≤6r−8​  ...(1)

We need to find the value of r.

Subtracting 5r to both sides of the inequality .

​5r-5r≤6r-5r−8

0≤r−8

r ≥ 8

Hence, the values of r are 8,9,10.
