Solve equation for y.

5x - y = 3

-y = -5x + 3

y = (-5x + 3)/(-1)

y = 5x - 3

The slope for this equation is 5.

The slope of the equation we want is the negative reciprocal of 5.

Let m = slope of equation we want.

m = -1/5

We are given the point (10,4).

Plug both into the point-slope formula.

y - 4 = (-1/5)(x - 10)

y - 4 = (-1/5)x + 2

y = (-1/5)x + 2 + 4

The equation we want is

y = (-1/5)x + 6

The sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is 270.What is the second number in this sequence?

Finger [1]

Answer: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the six consecutive even numbers be x , x+2 , x+4 ,x+6 ,x+8 ,x+10.

Then According to the question , we have

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)+(x+10)=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10=270\\\\\Rightarrow\6x+30=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=270-30\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=40$
