Answer:

B -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line D is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (6-1)/ (5-1)

=5/4

We want the slope of the line perpendicular

That would be the negative reciprocal

- (4/5)

Solve for w. 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w w = w equals negative StartFraction 7 Over 2 EndFraction z.Z w = w equals negative StartFraction

TEA [102]

Answer:

w = -7z/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for w in terms of z.

The equation given is:

5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Collect like terms:

5w - 3w = 2z - 9z

2w = -7z

w = -7z/2
