Answer:

y=-5x+1 (without point p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the slope of y= -1/5x+2:

m=1/5

*The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the given slope, in this case 1/5 is that given slope.*

So, the slope of the line perpendicular would be:

mp(slope perpendicular)= -5

Then you construct the line equation with just a general b in this case which gives you the equation:

y= -5x+1

The equation is then put into standard form to find the equation for point p (not positive if this what was meant by the question if so this'll give you the correct answer) ax+by=c :

How does the definition of PERCENT help you write fraction and decimals equivalents?

nasty-shy [4]

By definition we have to:
The percentage is a mathematical symbol, which represents a given quantity as a fraction in 100 equal parts. It is also commonly called percent where percent means "out of every hundred units."
We have then that using the definition we can apply the following formula to obtain a fraction or a decimal:
$\frac{A}{100}$
Where,
A: amount in percentage
Answer:
you can write fraction and decimals equivalents using the expression:

explain why multiplying the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

We also know that when you have the same numerator and denominator in a fraction, it always equals 1. For example: So as long as we multiply or divide both the top and the bottom of a fraction by the same number, it's just the same as multiplying or dividing by 1 and we won't change the value of the fraction.
