To answer this, we will need to know:

• The slope of the equation we are trying to get
• The point it passes through using the 

First, we will need to find the slope of this equation. To find this, we must simplify the equation 3x+5y=38 into y=mx+b form. Lets do it!

3x+5y=38
= 5y = -3x+38 (Subtract 3x from both sides)
= y= -\frac{3}{5}x+ \frac{38}{5} (Divide both sides by 5) 

The slope of a line perpendicular would have to multiply with the equation we just changed to equal -1. In other words, it would have to equal the negative reciprocal.

The negative reciprocal of the line given is \frac{5}{3}. 

Now that we know the slope, we have to find out the rest of the equation using the slope formula, which is:

\frac{y-y _{1} }{x- x_{1} }=m

Substituting values, we find that:

\frac{y-4}{x-6}= \frac{5}{3}

By simplifying this equation to slope-intercept form (By cross-multiplying then simplifying), we then get that: 

y= \frac{5}{3}x-6 , which is our final answer.

Thank you, and I wish you luck.

(6,4); 3x + 5y =38 \ subtract \ 3x \ from \ each \ side \\ \\ 5y = -3x + 8 \ divide \ each \term \ by \ 5 \\ \\ y = -\frac{3} {5}x + \frac{38}{5}\\ \\ The \ slope \ is :m _{1} = - \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ If \ m_{1} \ and \ m _{2} \ are \ the \ gradients \ of \ two \ perpendicular \\ \\ lines \ we \ have \ m _{1}*m _{2} = -1

m _{1} \cdot m _{2} = -1 \\ \\ -\frac{3}{5} \cdot m_{2}=-1 \ \ / \cdot (-\frac{5}{3}) \\ \\ m_{2}=\frac{5}{3}

Now \ your \ equation \ of \ line \ passing \ through \ (6,4) would \ be: \\ \\ y=m_{2}x+b \\ \\4=\frac{5}{\not3^1} \cdot \not 6^2 + b

4=5 \cdot 2+b\\ \\4=10+b \\ \\b=4-10\\ \\b=-6 \\ \\ y = \frac{5}{3}x -6

Anyone help me solve for y.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2x + ( - 2) , that is

y = 2x - 2 ← substitute x = - 1

y = 2(- 1) - 2 = - 2 - 2 = - 4

This is confirmed by the point (- 1, - 4 ) on the graph

The answer for this math problem because I don’t really understand it
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by subtracting 5.2 from both sides of the equation

  so  "subtraction property of equality "    I suppose ......

then the next step would be divide both sides by 2.5  

  which would be division property of equality
