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

Find how X and y compare when log X = 6.6 and log y = 3.6
asambeis [7]

Answer

x = 3981071.7055

y  = 3981.0717

x > y

Step by step explanation

First let's find the value of x and y by taking anti - log.

log X = 6.6

X = log^ -1 (6.6)

X = 3981071.7055

Similarly,

log Y = 3.6

Y = log ^(-1) 3.6

Y = 3981.0717


Once we found the values of X and Y , we can easily compare them.

Here x > y

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you. :)
