Answer:

y = 2/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are lines which have negative reciprocal slopes of each other.

The line y = -5/2 x + 2 has slope -5/2. Therefore its perpendicular slope will be 2/5.

The equation can cross anywhere on the y-axis for its y-intercept since no specific point is given. Here I chose (0,0).

y = 2/5x

How many equal sections divide a directed line segment if it is to be partitioned with a 7:10 ratio?

Dafna11 [192]

The midpoint formula is x1+x2 over 2 and y1+y2 over 2. When you use it to find the midpoint of (0,-8) and (-4,10), you get (-2,1).

Slope formula is y2-y1 over x2-x1, which will give you -6.
