Answer:

x = y − 4
y = 1/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

As written, they all are linear functions.

If we assume that x3 is supposed to be interpreted as x³ = x^3, and that x2 is supposed to be x² = x^2, then the equations containing those terms are not linear equations.

The equation y = 1/5x is usually interpreted to mean y = (1/5)x. If it is intended to be y = 1/(5x), then it is not a linear function either.

___

A linear function is a sum of terms that are either constant or containing a single variable to the first power.

Help with this algebra question

choli [55]

If two lines are perpendicular, the slope of one of the lines is the negative reciprocal of the other. Since we know the slope for one of our lines, $2$ m lets find the other:
$m=- \frac{1}{2}$

Now, lets use the point-slope formula to complete the equation of our perpendicular line:
$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$
$y-5=- \frac{1}{2} (x-2)$
$y-5=- \frac{1}{2}x+1$
$y=- \frac{1}{2} x+6$

We can conclude that our perpendicular line is $y=- \frac{1}{2} x+6$
