Answer:

y = -5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations, or lines, that are perpendicular to each other have opposite reciprocals for the value of slope.  For the given line, y = 1/5x - 2, the slope is 1/5 and the opposite reciprocal is -5.

Given the value of the slope and a given point on the second line, you can solve for 'b':

y = mx + b

8 = (-5)(-5) + b

8 = 25 + b

-17 = b

y = -5x - 17

A rectangle and regular hexagon are shown below. Find the value of x that makes the polygons above have the same perimeter
pav-90 [236]
The answer is x=3
because 3x2 is 6 and 6x6 is 36 because a hexagon has 6 sides, and 3x3 is 9+3 is 12 and 12+12 is 24 and 3+3 is 6 so 6+6 is 12 and is you add that to 24 then that’s 36 aswell.
