Answer:

y = -5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines has the negative reciprocal slope, so the slope is -5.

The y-intercept can be found by using point (-5,8) and plugging it into the equation: 8 = -5(-5) + b, b = -17. Unless you are not looking for a specific line. Then anything can be used as d.

Answer: Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the line perpendicular to y=1/5x−1. y=−5x−17

The perimeter of a square can represent by 16x + 24. Willa wants to write an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows

Maslowich

The diagram shows that all the sides of the rectangle are congruent. Since the perimeter all of the sides added up, all you have to do is divide the perimeter by 4.

Therefore, the perimeter, which is 16x + 24, can be divided by 4 to find the length of one side.

16x + 24/4 = length of one side. So, the length of one side is 4x + 6.

Hope this helped!
