Answer:
y = -0.2x - 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.
For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5
The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".
So, the perpendicular line will have slope of 
So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:
y = -1/5x + b
Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:
So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8
Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, you set the equations as equal to each other:
Then you simplify:
Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1
On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5
expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.
(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)
divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3
Answer:
59.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x7) + (7x3)/2
33 is the answer to that question
