2/3x-40=5/6(x+36)

multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fraction

6* 2/3x- 6*40=6*5/6(x+36)

4x -240 = 5(x+36)

distribute

4x-240 = 5x +180

subtract 4x from each side

-240 = x +180

subtract 180 from each side

-420 =x

Please help me with this question!!!!!

Answer:

Equation of line in slope-intercept form that passes through (4, -8) and is perpendicular to the graph $y= \frac {2}{5} x - 3$ is below

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the equation $y= \frac{2}{5} x -3$ is $m_1 = \frac{2}{5}$

Since slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other, therefore slope of other line is given as

$m_2 = - \frac {1}{m_1} = - \frac {5}{2}$

Equation of line in point slope form is given as

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

Here (x1, y1) = (4, -8)

$y+8 = - \frac{5}{2} (x-4)$

Simplifying it further

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + \frac {5}{2} 4 - 8$

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$
