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!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

5x + 7 + 4x + 2 + 90 = 180 , that is

9x + 99 = 180 ( subtract 99 from both sides )

9x = 81 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 9

Then

∠ ACB = 4x + 2 = 4(9) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38°

∠ BAC = 5x + 7 = 5(9) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52°

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent , so

∠ B = ∠ E

6x + 10 = 70 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

6x = 60 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 10
