U have a slope of 5/4...a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope...which means, the slope we need is -4/5.

Now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4/5
(8,-7)
-7 = -4/5(8) + b
-7 = -32/5 + b
-7 + 32/5 = b
-35/5 + 32/5 = b
-3/5 = b

equation is : y = -4/5x - 3/5.....4x + 5y = -3

4x + 5y = -3....when x = 3
4(3) + 5y = -3
12 + 5y = -3
5y = -3-12
5y = - 15
y = -15/5
y = - 3 <===

A line has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (2, 2). What is the equation for this line?
koban [17]
To determine the equation of the line, we use the point slope form equation for this problem. It is expressed as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We substitute the given values in the problem to the equation.

y - 2 = -5(x - 2)
y = -5x +10+2
y = -5x +12

Can you solve this problem plz?

Answer:

First, we are going to find the sum of their age. To do that we are going to add the age of Eli, the age Freda, and the age of Geoff:


The combined age of Eli, Freda, and Geoff is 40, so the denominator of each ratio will be 40.


Next, we are going to multiply the ratio between the age of the person and their combined age by £800:

For Eli: 

For Freda: 

For Geoff: 


We can conclude that Eli will get £180, Freda will get £260, and Geoff will get £360.
