In this item, we are not given with the figure but knowing that these lines ought to be perpendicular then we will be able to derive the relationship between the slopes of the line. 

The slopes of the perpendicular line are the negative reciprocals of one another. If we represent the slopes of the lines as m₁ and m₂, the relationship can be written in the form,
           (m₁)(m₂) = -1

We are given with one of the slopes. To determine the value of the second slope then,
            m₂ = -1/m₁
            m₂ = -1/(2/5)
            m₂ = -5/2

<em>ANSWER: m₂ = -5/2</em>

Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen. 2 years ago, Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age. How old is Carlos now?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Carlos is 35 years old now

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen

- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33

∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now

2 years ago

∵ Carlos's age = x - 2

∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31

∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age

- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age

∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 31 = x - 4

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ 35 = x

∵ x represents Carlos's age now

∴ Carlos is 35 years old now
