Answer:

y = 2/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are lines which have negative reciprocal slopes of each other.

The line y = -5/2 x + 2 has slope -5/2. Therefore its perpendicular slope will be 2/5.

The equation can cross anywhere on the y-axis for its y-intercept since no specific point is given. Here I chose (0,0).

y = 2/5x

Otieno is k years old.He is 5 years older than kidole what will be their age fours to come

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Otieno's age in 4 years: $k+4$

Kidole's age in 4 years: $k-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$k$ = Otieno's age

$k-5$ = Kidole's age

Their ages will increase by 4 years when 4 years pass.

$k+4$ = Otieno's age in 4 years

$k-5+4$ = Kidole's age in 4 years

$k-1$ = Kidole's age in 4 years (after simplifying the expression)

I hope this helps!
