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

Hello there!

To start with subtract the membership fee from the total of $21:

The sum of two numbers is - 10. If one number is subtracted from the other, their difference is - 8. Find the numbers.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

the sume of two numbers is 2. if one number is subtracted from the other, their difference is 8. find the numbers---->

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=2

X-Y=8

If you subtract X+Y with X-Y, you get 2y, and so that equals 2-8, that is -6.

2y=-6

y=(-6)/2

y=-3

-3+X=2

x=2+3

x=5 and y=-8

Check

-3+5=2

5-(-3)=8
