Hey! :)
Some things to note: When you bring a exponent to the numerator, you make it negative.
When you put an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together.

so that is your answer, please let me know if you need more of an explanation. :)
Answer:
It helps you know if the answer is reasonable because when you do the work and get your answer, you can check if it is close to your estimate, and if it is, it is most likely correct. On the other hand if it is not close to the estimate it is most likely wrong, unless you estimated incorrectly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer to your question is y = -5x + 32 point-slope form
5x + y - 32 = 0 general form
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
(8, -8)
⊥ x - 5y - 6 = 0
Process
1.- Get the slope of the line given
x - 5y - 6 = 0
-5y = -x + 6
y = -x/-5 + 6/-5
y = x/5 - 6/5
slope = 1/5
slope of the new line -5, because the lines are perpendicular
2.- Get the equation of the new line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 8 = -5(x - 8)
y + 8 = -5x + 40
y = -5x + 40 - 8
y = -5x + 32 point-slope form
Equal to zero to find the general form
5x + y - 32 = 0 general form
+, //, attic. I think this is what your asking be more detailed.
