We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
Answer:
The correct option is C. About 1 on the side with the 1 on top and 4 on the bottom yard.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Simone measures the width of one of cardboard strip as 1/2 yard.
A second cardboard strip measures 5/6 yard in width.
We need to find the combined width.
The combined width of the cardboard strip:
is closer to
as compare to 
Hence, the correct option is C. About 1 on the side with the 1 on top and 4 on the bottom yard.
The slope of the line (m) = 3/1 = 3
and the y intercept is at (0,3) that is y = 3 so b = 3
using the slope intercept form y = mx + b
m = 3 and b = 3
so answer is y = 3x + 3
2a+1 + 3a+2 +5a-9 you would start by combining like terms
2a+3a+5a= 10a
1+2-9= -6
10a-6=94
then subtract 94-6=88
then divide 88 by 10= 8.8
a=8.8
