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>

a stereo is marked down $75. If this is a 15% decrease find the sale price. How do you work this problem out?
m_a_m_a [10]
You can do a proportion: 75/15 = x/100
you then do 100x75 and the divide by 15 and get 500. 
15% of $500 is $75 so the sale price would be $425 I believe.

Is this equation a direct variation? Y= 4x + 9
Ket [755]
No it wouldn't because a direct variation is in a  y=kx formula. That equation shown above is in a y=mx+b format,which is a formula for slope intercept form
