Answer: 5y + 4x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradients = -1.

If the gradient of the first line is m_{1} and the gradient of the second line is m_{2} , if the lines are perpendicular, them

m_{1} x m_{2} = -1 , that is

m_{1} = \frac{-1}{m_{2} }

The equation of the line given is 5x - 4y = -3 , we need to write this equation in slope - intercept form in order to find the slope.

The equation in slope -intercept form is given as :

y =mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Writing the equation in this form , we have

5x - 4y = + 3

4y = 5x -+3

y = 5x/4 + 3/4

comparing with the equation y = mx + c , then m_{1} = 5/4

Which means that m_{2} = -4/5 and the line passes through the point ( -5 , 2 ).

Using the equation of line in slope - point form  to find the equation of the line;

y - y_{1} = m ( x -  y_{1} )

y - 2 = -4/5 ( x +5)

5(y - 2 ) = -4 ( x + 5 )

5y - 10 = -4x - 20

5y + 4x = - 10

What is the total number of digits required in numbering a book that has 1724 pages?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

5,789

Step-by-step explanation:

I got 5,789 because there are 9 one digit numbers. 1-9 -> 9x1=9. There are 90 two digit numbers. (10-99)-> 90x2=180. There are 900 three digit numbers. (100-999)-> 900x3=2700. There are 725 four digit numbers. (1000-1724)-> 724x4= 2900. Then, I added 9+180+2700+2900=5789.

In conclusion, the total number of digits required in numbering a book that has 1724 pages is 5789.
