Answer:

y = -0.2x - 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.

For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5

The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".

So, the perpendicular line will have slope of  -\frac{1}{5}

So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:

y = -1/5x + b

Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:

y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b\\-7=-\frac{1}{5}(6)+b\\-7=-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=-7+\frac{6}{5}\\b=-5.8

So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ. Given that WX→ and WZ→ are are opposite rays, and m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ) is m∠YWZ?.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

m∠YWZ=36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (WX and WZ) form a single straight line through the common endpoint W.

If rays WX and WZ are opposite, then angle XWZ is straight angle. A straight angle always has the measure of 180°.

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ, then angles XWY and EWZ are supplementary angles (together form straight angle XWZ). Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, then

m∠XWY+m∠YWZ=180°

You are given that

m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ).

Substitute it into the previous equality:

4(m∠YWZ)+m\angle YWZ=180°

5(m∠YWZ)=180°

m∠YWZ=36°

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

x < 3 or x > 9

Step-by-step explanation:

given 6| x - 6 | + 7 > 25 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

6| x - 6 | > 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

| x - 6 | > 3

Inequalities of the form | x | > a always have solutions of the form

x < - a OR x > a, hence

x - 6 < - 3 or x - 6 > 3 ( add 6 to both sides in both inequalities )

x < 3 or x > 9
