Hi there!

To find the perpendicular slope you need to flip the fraction and change the sign. So 1/2=2/1 and tge original slope was positive, so the slope is -2. Now you sub in the point (-7,-4) in for x and y in the formula y=mx+b and solve for b (sub in 2 for m as well)
Y=mx+b
-4=-2*-7+b
-4=14+b
-4-14=b
B=-18
The equation is y=-2x-18

Hope this helps!

HELP PLEASEEEEE URGENT
gregori [183]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Solve for the slope(m):

(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

pick any

(-3 - (-5) )/ (1 - 0)

(-3 + 5) / (1 - 0)

2/1 = 2

2) b(intercept) value is found when x = 0:

x = 0, y = -5,

b = y

b = -5

3) Plug it in:

y = mx + b

y = 2x - 5

4) when the value is 5, x = 5:

y = 2x - 5

y = 2(5) - 5

y = 10 -5 = 5
