your answer should be 1/3 if I did my math right
Y = -1/5x + 2
A line perpendicular to another line has an opposite reciprocal slope. What opposite means is that you flip the sign (from - to + or from + to -) and reciprocal means that you flip the numerator and denominator (so if line A is perpendicular to line B and line As slope is -3, line Bs slope would be 1/3).
First find the slope of 5x - y = -3
Add y to both sides
5x = y - 3
Add 3 to both sides
y = 5x + 3
So the slope of the line is 5. That means the slope of of the perpendicular line is -1/5.
Plug the slope of the perpendicular line and the point (5, 1) into point slope form to solve the equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1/5(x - 5)
y - 1 = -1/5x + 1
y = -1/5x + 2
Area of rectangular barn = 200 (sqft)
Length= Width + 10
Length x Width = 200 ==> (Width+10)Width = 200
Width² +10Width -200 = 0===> width = 10 ===> length = 20
2.5cm=25 mm
2.9cm=29 mm
3.1cm=31 mm
They give it in cm because it’s easier to guess how long it will be in real life
