Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides:

5a + 8 + (-2a) = -7

(5a + -2a) + 8 = -7

3a + 8 = -7

Start solving for a by subtracting 8 from both sides

3a+8-8 = -7 - 8

3a = -15

Next, divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 1

-15/3 = -5

a = -5

5a+8+(-2a)=-7

5a+8-2a=-7

5a-2a=-7-8

3a=-15

3a/3=-15/3

a=-5

Is y= -9/5x + 1/5 perpendicular to y= 5/9x + 2/9
Lana71 [14]

The given lines are perpendicular to each other.

Further explanation:

Given lines are:

Line 1: y= -9/5x + 1/5

Line 2:  y= 5/9x + 2/9

As the lines are in slope=intercept form, the co-efficient of x are their slopes

Let m1 be the slope of line 1 and m2 be the slope of line 2

Then

m_1=-\frac{9}{5}\\m_2=\frac{5}{9}\\m_1.m_2=-\frac{9}{5}*\frac{5}{9}\\m_1.m_2=-1

As we can see that the product of slopes of both lines is -1. The product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

The given lines are perpendicular to each other.

Keywords: Slope, slope-intercept form
