We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
Answer:
x= -1, y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-16x +24y = -8
16x -8y = -8
16y = -16
y=-1
16x = -16
x = -1

Answer:
21+j=55
Step-by-step explanation:
It says sum, which means to add(+). So you add 21 and j (21+j) and that equals 55 (=55). Then you add all the pieces together and you get 21+j=55
