the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 5x + 6y = 7 into this form

subtract 5x from both sides

6y = - 5x + 7 ( divide all terms by 6 )

y = - \frac{5}{6} x + \frac{7}{6} ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{5}{6}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m}, hence

m_{perpendicular} = - 1 / - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{6}{5}

y = \frac{6}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (5, - 4 ) into the partial equation

- 4 = 6 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 6 = - 10

y = \frac{6}{5} x - 10 ← equation in slope-intercept form

Use the ruler to find 1 / 1/10 and 4 1/10
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the first answer is 10 and the second is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

there actually asking how many meters would make 1 centimeter

On the ruler 1 whole centimeter is 10 meter. (The longer line behind the number is the 10th meter )

Dividing fractions

1 ÷ 1/10

Steps

Change the whole number which is 1 into a fraction.

1/1 ÷1/10

Flip the second fraction in the equation.

1/1 ÷ 10/1

Then change the division sign to a multiplication sign. So were multiply instead.

1/1 × 10/1

Multiply the fractions and your answer should be 10/1 .

This fraction is also changed to a whole number.

10/1 = 10

Katrin is making a poster for school elections. She draws a line 20.4 cm long across the poster board. She starts at one end of
nevsk [136]
Well, to find out how many times 20.4 can split into 3.4, you need to divide 20.4÷3.4 and you will get 6, and Katrin (K-A-T-R-I-N) is 6 letters, so you have enough room, the answer is yes.

What value of M gives the system infinitely many solutions? -x+2y=16<br> Y=mx+8
Naya [18.7K]
First you move. -x for +x
2y = 16 + x
y = 8 + 1/2 x

the answer is
