Answer: $m=\dfrac{-1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general intercept form of equation of line is given by :-

$y=mx+c$ , where m is the slope of the line.

The given equation of line : $y-5x=5$

Subtract 5x both sides, we get

$y=5x+5$

On comparing the equation to the general intercept form of equation of line , we get

Slope =5

Since the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Then the slope of line that is perpendicular to the given equation will be :-

$m=\dfrac{-1}{5}$

You have to divide the 5 and 5x by 5 add your variables together in alpha order=1

There are two red jars of marbles and one blue jar of marbles jars of a certain color have the same number of marbles in them. T

satela [25.4K]

We can set up an equation to solve this problem. I am setting the number of marbles in a red jar to R.

R + R + R - 16 = 41

We solve this by adding 16 to both sides and combining all of the R terms.. This gives us:

3R = 57

We can finish this problem by dividing both sides by 3.

R = 19. So, there are 19 marbles in a red jar.

We can easily figure out how many marbles are in a blue jar by subtracting the total amount of marbles in 2 red jars from the total amount of marbles. I am setting the amount of marbles in a blue jar to B.

41 - 19*2 = B

B = 3

So, there are 3 marbles in a blue jar and 19 marbles in a red jar.

IMPORTANT <br><br>[how do you]Find sin theta if tan theta = 3/4

zvonat [6]

$\bf tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{3}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{4}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{hypotenuse}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
c=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\implies c=5
\\\\\\
sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}$

bear in mind that, though the square has two valid roots, one negative and one positive, the hypotenuse is just a radius distance, and therefore is never negative.
