First, let's re-arrange to slope-intercept form.

x + 8y = 27

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

8y = -x + 27

Divide 8 to both sides:

y = -1/8x + 3.375

So the slope of this line is -1/8, to find the slope that is perpendicular to this, we multiply it by -1 and flip it. -1/8 * -1 = 1/8, flipping it will give us 8/1 or 8.

So the slope of the perpendicular line will be 8.

Now we can plug this into point-slope form along with the point given.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 8(x + 5)

y - 5 = 8x + 40

y = 8x + 45

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The longest side is 2 times the length of the shortest side.

In this geometry, that means the length of the escalator is 2 times its height, so is ...

  x = 2(25 ft)

  x = 50 ft . . . . . distance a person travels
