Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line is y=2x+5

By comparing it with the y=mx+b

we say that the slope of the given line is m=2

The concept is that the slope of a perpendicular line is given by -1/m.

Hence the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is

-\frac{1}{2}

The sum of two positive numbers is 5 times their difference. What is the ratio of the larger number to the smaller number?
Anna11 [10]
Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2
