Answer:
y = -5/3 * x - 40/3
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope.
Your equation should be:
-5y = -3x +6
Divide all parts by -5.
y = 3/5x - 6/5
Since the perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope, the slope will be -5/3.
Now you must make an equation in point-slope form. This is an example of that form. You will need at least one point to make this equation work. In this case we have (-8,0).
In put the y and x coordinates like this:
y - 0 = -5/3(x - (-8)
Start solving the equation.
y - 0 = -5/3(x + 8)
y - 0 = -5/3 * x - 40/3
y = -5/3 * x - 40/3
This is your equation.
y = -5/3 * x - 40/3
(You can make it -5/3x in your answer but it looks weird online. You may think that it is -5 divided by 3 times x, but it actually is 5/3 times x. That's why I wrote it as y = -5/3 * x - 40/3)
11 spaces :) 7 minus 11 is -4
Answer:
[2,6]
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5y=36
5x-4=y
3x+5(5x-4)=36
3x+25x-20=36
28x-20=36
28x=56
x=2
5x-4=y
5*2-4=y
10-4=y
6=y

Answer:
y = 5x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation of a line with two points
y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x_1 = y - y_1 / x - x_1
Giving two points
( -4 , 10)(16 , -2)
x_1 = -4
y_1 = 10
x_2 = 16
y_2 = -2
Using the above formula
y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x_1 = y - y_1 / x - x_1
-12 - 3 / -1 - 2 = y - 3 / x - 2
-15/-3 = y - 3 /x - 2
Cross multiply
-15(x - 2) = -3(y - 3)
-15x + 30 = -3y + 9
-15x + 30 + 3y - 9 = 0
-15x +30 - 9 + 3y = 0
-15x + 21 + 3y = 0
3y = 15x - 21 ( following y = mx + C
Dividing through by 3 to find y
3y/3 = 15x -21 / 3
y = 15x - 21 / 3
We can still separate
y = 15x / 3 - 21/3
y = 5x - 7
Therefore, the equation of the line is
y = 5x - 7
