Similar triangles, I'm assuming. Then this:


DB/DC = AD/ED

7/DC = 10/6.5


10 DC = 45.5


DC = 4.55 cm

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
Kruka [31]

Answer:

y+4=-(2/5)(x-5) ----> equation of the line into point slope form

y=-(2/5)x-2 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

2x+5y=-10 ----> equation of the line in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

5x-2y=-6

isolate the variable y

2y=5x+6

y=2.5x+3

The slope m of the given line is m=2.5

step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

We know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are inverse reciprocal each other

so

m1=5/2

the inverse reciprocal is

m2=-2/5

step 3

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-2/5

point (5,-4)

substitute

y+4=-(2/5)(x-5) ----> equation of the line into point slope form

y=-(2/5)x+2-4

y=-(2/5)x-2 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

Multiply by 5 both sides

5y=-2x-10

2x+5y=-10 ----> equation of the line in standard form

Can somebody pls tell me the solution I’m rlly stuck. I’ll give you points pls help.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

(4,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this system of equations in a couple of different ways, but I'm going to use the elimination method. If you're solving a system of equations using elimination, you want to have one variable cancel out. In this case, we don't have to change anything because -3y and 3y will already cancel out if we add the two equations together. You can both add or subtract, but it's easiest to add in this case. The equation will be set up like this: 2x-3y=11

                                                                                                      +  7x+3y=25

                                                                                                         --------------

After you add them together, you should get 9x=36, which you can solve by dividing both sides by 9. Then, you'll get x=4. This is your x-coordinate. Next, you want to get your y-coordinate, so you can substitute 4 into one of the two equations for x and solve for y. This will get you -1 for y. I'd also recommend checking your answer. Hope this was helpful! :)
