Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of given line is:

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 5 \\ \\ equating \: it \: with \: y =m_1x + c \\ we \: find \: \\ m_1 = - \frac{1}{2} \\ let \: m_2 \: be \: the \: slope \: of \: required \: line \\ \\ \therefore \: m_1 \times m_2 = - 1( \because \: lines \: are \: \perp) \\ \\ \therefore \: - \frac{1}{2} \times m_2 = - 1\\ \\ \therefore \: m_2 = 2 \\$

Thus, the slope of required line is 2.

Find −315÷134. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$-2\frac{47}{134}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2\frac{47}{134} = -\frac{315}{134}$

$134$ can go into $-315$ twice at the most, so doubling $134$ will give us $268$ , which leaves us with $47$ left over to reach 315, which is why $47$ is the numerator. The remainder is ALWAYS the numerator.
