Simplify and determine the coefficient of (-2/5)(-x)(5y)(-2x).
1 answer:
When multiplying an odd number of factors,, then that means they will equal a negative. This rule will make this expression change to the following:
-
x × 5y × 2x
Now reduce the numbers with 5
-2xy × 2x
Lastly,, calculate the product to get your final answer
-4x²y
This means that your coefficient is -4 and the simplified version of your expression is -4x²y.

The slope of the given line is ∆y/∆x = (4-6)/(5-1) = -2/4 = -1/2. The slope of the desired (perpendicular) line is the negative reciprocal of this, -1/(-1/2) = 2.
The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is
... y - k = m(x - h)
For slope 2 and the given point, your equation can be
... y + 6 = 2(x + 2)
