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

Consider this quadratic equation. 2x2 − 1 = 3x + 4 Which equation correctly applies the quadratic formula?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

2x^2-1=3x+4\\\\2x^2-3x-5=0\\\\\\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2)} \\\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+40} }{4}

x = \frac{3+-7}{4}

Hope this helps and God bless!

The area of a rectangle is 48 cm² and the length of the rectangle is 8 cm longer than the width. What is the equation you would
ehidna [41]
48= l*w
l= 8+w

To solve for width, substitute the value of l in the first equation so that everything is in terms of w.

Answer:

7%

11%

5%

14%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a numbers percentage of another number you simply divide the smaller number by the bigger number then move the decimal point to the right 2 places.

Percentage of workers who prefer chicken soup who are part-time: 35÷500 = 0.07 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 7%.

Percentage of full-time workers who prefer mushroom soup: 55÷500 = 0.11 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 11%.

Percentage of workers who prefer lintel soup who are full-time: 25÷500 = 0.05 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 5%.

Percentage of part-time workers who prefer tomato soup: 70÷500 = 0.14 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 14%.

Hope this helps! :)
