The required equation is:

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{53}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l_1 be the line through  (-1, -2) and (5, 3)

and l_2 be the line we require which passes through (3,7)

We have to find the lope of l_1 first

m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\=\frac{3-(-2)}{5-(-1)}\\=\frac{3+2}{5+1}\\=\frac{5}{6}

we have to find the equation of line perpendicular to l1

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1

Let m_2 be the slope of l_2

Then

\frac{5}{6}*m_2=-1\\m_2=-\frac{6}{5}

The general slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Putting the value of slope

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+b

To find the value of b, we will put (3,7) in the equation

7=-\frac{6}{5}(3)+b\\7=-\frac{18}{5}+b\\b=7+\frac{18}{5}\\b=\frac{35+18}{5}\\b=\frac{53}{5}

Putting the values of b and m in standard slope intercept form:

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{53}{5}

Hence,

The required equation is:

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{53}{5}

Guys, Can you please help me with these questions
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

a) w^{13} x^{5} y^{6}

b) \frac{x}{3y^{6} }

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (w^{2} xy^{3} )^{2}(w^{3}x )^{3}

1. Distribute the second power (2) outside the first pair of parenthesis:

(w^{2(2)} x^{2} y^{3(2)} )

= w^{4} x^{2} y^{6} (w^{3}x )^{3}

2. Distribute the third power (3) outside the second pair of parenthesis:

(w^{3(3)} x^{3} )

= w^{4} x^{2} y^{6} w^{9} x^{3}

3. Combine like terms:

w^{13} x^{5} y^{6}

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

b) \frac{2x^{2} y^{5} }{6xy^{11} }

1. Factor the number 6 (= 2 · 3):

\frac{2x^{2} y^{5} }{2(3)xy^{11} }

2. Cancel the common factor (2):

\frac{x^{2} y^{5} }{3xy^{11} }

3. Cancel out xy^{5} in the numerator an denominator:

\frac{x}{3y^{6} }

hope this helps!
