Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is defined by:  y=5x+1, where we see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept 1.

In order to find a line perpendicular to the given one, we need it to have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the given slope.

"Opposite" means it would have its sign inverted (in our case from positive to negative); and "reciprocal means that instead of 5, it would be its reciprocal: \frac{1}{5}.

We can write this new line with such slope, and try to find its y-intercept (b) by using the given condition that requires it to go through the point (-5,-4) on he plane:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x+b

we require then that when x=-5, the value of y=-4.

Therefore: -4=-\frac{1}{5} (-5)+b\\-4=\frac{5}{5} +b\\-4=1+b\\b=-4-1=-5

Then our final answer is that the new line should have the form: y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5

Is p(x)= |x| an inverse function
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = |x|

in : R  let : y = |x|

calculate : x

y² = |x| ²

y² = x²

y² - x²= ( y - x)( y +x) by identity

y = x or y = - x

the inverse : y = x or y = - x

conclusion : the inverse is : g(x) = |x|

If angle vuw = 4x+6 and wut = 6x+10 what is the measure of wut
Damm [24]

Answer:

C, 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

ray UW is the angle bisector of ∠VUT

--> m∠VUW = m∠WUT = 1/2 m∠VUT

<=> 4x + 6 = 6x - 10

<=> 6 + 10 = 6x - 4x

<=> 2x = 16

<=> x = 8

So, the measure of m∠WUT is: 6x - 10 = 6 . 8 - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38°
