The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the normal slope.  For example, 3/7 would become -7/3.  

Because the slope of this line is 1/5, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it is -5.

Now, to find the equation of the line, we need to find the y intercept.  Since the line passes through (0,0), that is the y intercept.  Now, we can make the equation of the line.

y = -5x

PLEASE HELP!! <br> I need help on problems #5, #6, #9, #10<br> Picture attached <br> Thank you!
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

5. TS ≅ ML

6. ∠N≅∠U

9. m∠P = 80°

10. QR = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The congruent symbol ≅ indicates that the two shapes have the same angle and side lengths.

5. TS are the third and second letter in RSTUV. The third and second letters in KLMNO are ML. TS ≅ ML

6. N is the fourth letter in KLMNO. The fourth letter is RSTUV is U. ∠N≅∠U

9. ∠P is congruent to ∠W. Notice they are both on the longer side and the wider angle. Since m∠P ≅ m∠W, and  m∠W = 80°, then m∠P = 80°

10. QR is congruent to XY. They are both the shortest sides of the shape. QR ≅ XY and XY = 3, then QR = 3

The area of a rectangle is x2 - 2x - 15 and the length of the rectangle is x + 3. Find the width of the rectangle.
Alexandra [31]
The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:

w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)

What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).

Hence, the width is (x-5).

Twice the larger of two consecutive integers is equal to fifteen less than three times the smaller. Find the integers.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

17,18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller integer be "a" and the larger be "b"

Then 2b = 3a -15              ........................equ 1

but they are consecutive integers, b= a+1 ; substitute b into equ 1,thus,

2(a+1) = 3a - 15

2a + 2 = 3a-15

collect like terms,

2+15 =3a-2a

17 = a

b= a+1

b = 17+1

b=18.

The integers are 17,18
