The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given slope is -3/5, so the perpendicular slope is ...

-1/(-3/5) = 5/3

That and the given y-intercept can be put into the slope-intercept equation ...

y = mx + b . . . . . line of slope m and y-intercept b

y = 5/3x + 8

−11b+7=40<br> Like what am I supposed to do??

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation as you see it.

-11b+7=40

Then switch the take away seven from the left side then place it in the right side but as a minus.

-11b=40-7

Next do the math on the right side.

-11b=33

Once you have done that you divide the number on right with the number on the left which leaves you with the answer.

b=-3

Hope this helped :)
