Y = -5/4x + 1.....the slope here is -5/4. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign, resulting in 4/5 (u see how I flipped -5/4 and turned it into 4/5...I then changed the sign and made it 4/5)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 4/5 ....we are using the negative reciprocal here
(2,6)...x = 2 and y = 6
now we sub and find b, the y int
6 = 4/5(2) + b
6 = 8/5 + b
6 - 8/5 = b
30/5 - 8/5 = b
22/5 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 4/5x + 22/5

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The axes on your graph are not labeled, so we have to assume they follow the usual convention. That is, the vertical axis is the y-axis, and the horizontal axis is the x-axis.

The x-coordinate tells how far to the left or right of the y-axis the point is. Here, point L is 1 grid square to the left of the vertical line that is the y-axis. If you follow the vertical line through L down to where it crosses the x-axis, you will see an unlabeled open circle there. (We don't know the purpose of that circle, but we call it to your attention so you know you're looking in the right place.)

Looking 4 more grid squares to the left of that point, you see the marking "-5". This tells you each grid square corresponds to one unit. Then the first one to the left of the y-axis (where the open circle is) has a value of -1. That is the value of the x-coordinate of point L.

The x-coordinate of point L is -1.

What does it mean for two fractions to be equivalent? For two ratios to be equivalent?

When two fractions are equivalent that means that different fractions have the same number
