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

Write down in terms of n, an expression for the nth term
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a_{n} = - 7n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

- 15 - (- 8) = - 22 - (- 15) = - 29 - (- 22) = - 36 - (- 29) = - 7

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 8 and d = - 7 , then

a_{n} = - 8 - 7(n - 1) = - 8 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 1

40 green cars 20 silver if same # of green stayed the same how many more silver would need to be added so the ratio of green to
slega [8]
So, there will be 40 green cars. if we want the ratio to be 1:3, we will need there to b three times as many silver cars as green cars: 40*3=120.

we already have 20 silver, so we need to add 120-20, that is 100 silver cars!

Explain how you can use division to simplify a complex fraction.
PolarNik [594]
Reduce the final answer if needed (or reduce when you multiply).  A mixed number should be converted to an improper fraction (heavier on top) before simplifying. Change the numerator and denominator to single fractions<span> by creating a common denominator</span>
