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.
Are you sure it’s b or is it x?

Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
5 people in the room have 5*40 = 200 years altogether
a new person is X years old.
Now 6 people have (200 + x) years altogether.
Mean age of 6 people is (200+x)/6. and it is also = 40.
So,
(200+x)/6 = 40
200 + x = 240
x = 40
