Greetings and Happy Holidays!

<span>1) Perpendicular to </span>-x+5y=14
In order for lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals.
Example of slopes with negative reciprocals: 5 and \frac{-1}{5}

First, rearrange the equation into slope y-intercept form:
-x+5y=14

5y=x+14

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{x+14}{5}

y=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{14}{5}

The slope of the equation is: \frac{1}{5}

The negative reciprocal formula: (m_{1})(m_{2})=-1

Solve for the negative reciprocal: 
\frac{1}{5}m_{2}=-1

Divide both sides by \frac{1}{5}
\frac{\frac{1}{5}m_{2} }{ \frac{1}{5}} = \frac{-1}{ \frac{1}{5}}

m_{2}=(-1)(\frac{5}{1})

m_{2}=(\frac{-5}{1})

m_{2}=-5

The slope of the new line is: -5

2) Passes through (-5,-2)

Create
an equation with the slope discovered in slope y-intercept form.
y=-5x+b

Input
the point the line passes through.
(-2)=-5(-5)+b

Solve
for b (the y-intercept).
-2=-5(-5)+b

Multiply.
-2=25+b

Add
-25 to both sides.
(-2)+(-25)=b

-27=b

The y-intercept is equal to -27

The Equation of the line is:
y=-5x-27

I hope this helped!

If you roll a six sided die what is the p(5)? Express your answer as a fraction and as a percent.
hodyreva [135]

When rolling one die, there is one "5" outcome and six total outcomes. The formula for probability is represented as:

P(A) = \dfrac{\textrm{number of outcomes resulting in} \,A}{\textrm{total number of outcomes}}


Thus in this case, to find P(5), we would go about the following:

P(5) = \dfrac{1}{6}


To convert \frac{1}{6} to a percent, we first multiply by 100 and then divide, as shown:

\dfrac{1}{6} \cdot 100 = \dfrac{100}{6} = 16.\overline{6} \,\%


The fraction would be 1/6 and the percentage would be 16.666...%, which is often rounded to 16.67%.
