Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
slope intercept form (y = mx + b) of the first equation will help us find the slope of the first line: where m = slope
5x-4y=10
-4y=-5x + 10
y=-5/-4 x + 10/-4
y=5/4 x -2.5
if the slope of this line is 5/4 then the slope of the perpendicular line is -4/5.
Therefore with the given information we can state the equation of the second line in point slope form (y-y,) = m(x-x,)
the coordinates of (5,12) can are substituted for x, and y,
so the answer is
(y-12) = -4/5(x-5)
I hope this helped and is BRAINLIEST!
Good luck with your studies!
It would be D because both are positive and are square roots
C = 11*(2*d) Try it and see that it fits every sample you have. Again this can be simplified to
C = 22 * d
"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3
Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:
"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4
x - 3 = 4 is your answer.
To solve for x:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.
x - 3 = 4
x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)
x = 4 - 3
x = 1
1 is your answer for x.

Answer:
The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. So let 4x be the number of boys and 5x be the number of girls. Then 4x+5x = 9x is the total number of students. Then the fraction of boys in the class is 4x/9x = 4/9.
