4x + 5y = 31
5y = -4x + 31
y = -4/5x + 31/5...the slope here is -4/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is 5/4 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/4
(-1,-7)...x = -1 and y = -7
now we sub and find b, the y int
-7 = 5/4(-1) + b
-7 = -5/4 + b
-7 + 5/4 = b
-28/4 + 5/4 = b
- 23/4 = b
so ur perpendicular line will be : y = 5/4x - 23/4
Answer:
5x + (- 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
So the terms are 2x, -5, 3x, and +4.
2x and 3x have x in common so they can be combined to create 5x.
-5 and +4 don't have variables, so they are also common and can be combined to make -1.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
so
0.00005 meters --------> 5 x 10^-5 meters
