What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=5x-1 and passes through the point (2, -4)

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept

From y = 5x - 1 we can already see that the slope is 5 since it is already in slope intercept form.

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope for the equation y = 5x - 1.

The negative reciprocal of 5 is -1/5.

So the incomplete equation for the perpendicular line is y = -1/5(x) + b

To find b plug in the x and y values from (2,-4) into the equation to get

         -4 = -1/5(2) + b

          b = -4 + 1/5(2)

          b = -4 + 2/5

          b = -18/5

The equation of the perpendicular line is y = -1/5(x) -18/5

A Web music store offers two versions of a popular song. The size of the standard version is 2.1 megabytes (MB). The size of the
liq [111]
If the number of downloads of the standard version is x, and the high quality is x, 2.1*x+4.1*y=2761 (not 1010 due to that this is multiplied by 2.1 and 4.1, therefore representing the total amount of megabytes) In addition, there are 1010 total downloads, and it's either 2.1 MB or 4.1 MB, so x+y=1010.

We have 
2.1x+4.1y=2761
x+y=1010

Multiplying the second equation by -2.1 and adding it to the first equation, we get 2y=2761-1010*2.1=640 and by dividing both sides by 2 we get y=320 downloads of the high quality version

plsss helppp need it fastt .. what is the volume of this figure answer your answer in the box . 4ft 3ft 8ft 2ft 6ft
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

e

Step-by-step explanation:

The cube on the top, the one with the width of 4 is Cube 1.

The other one is Cube 2.

The length of the cube is 4, the width 2, and the height 5.

We know the length is 4 because we can look at the side, where both measurements 6 ft and 3 ft can be found.

We know that the height is 5 because for Cube 2, the height is 3. The total height is 8, so we subtract 3 from 8. We get our difference of 5.

V = l x w x h

V = (4)(2)(5)

V = (8)(5)

V = 40.

Cube 2 has a length is 6, the width 2, and the height 3.

V = l x w x h

V = (6)(2)(3)

V = (12)(3)

V = 36

We add the volumes of both cubes.

40 + 36 = 76

probs not right but hope it helped :)
