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

vivado [14]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Red + 3 Blue + 7 Green = 12 Total Marbles.

You have 3 blue marbles out of the total marbles, so 3/12, then simplify it. 3/12 = 1/4. This gives you 0.25, or 25%.  

The probability of drawing a blue marble is 0.25 or 25%

Find the inverse of the function. f(x) = 7x + 8
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

\frac{x-8}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to find the inverse function is to swap the x and y (f(x)) in the equation.

y = 7x + 8\\x = 7y + 8\\x-8 = 7y\\y = \frac{x-8}{7}

We can check that it is an inverse function by using a property of inverse functions:

f(g(x)) = x

If we plug in the f(x) function into the variable x of the inverse function, we should end up with x

y = \frac{(7x + 8) - 8}{7}\\y = \frac{7x}{7} \\y = x\\

It checks out!
