Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular line would be y = -2/5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this line, we must first find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.

-5x + 2y = -10

2y = 5x - 10

y = 5/2x - 5

This shows us a slope of 5/2. TO find the perpendicular slope, we use the opposite and reciprocal. This means we negative 5/2 to get -5/2 and then we flip it to get -2/5. Now that we have this, we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -2/5(x + 5)

y - 1 = -2/5x - 2

y = -2/5x - 1

A) Work out the value of 5^2 – 1^5× 2^4<br>b) Work out the value of 7^2 + 4^3 ÷ 2^5​
NemiM [27]
First you have to know BODMAS/BIDMAS (idk if all schools teach it like this) but this is the order in which you complete questions so it’s Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction
a) 5^2 is 5x5 which equals 25 1 to the power of anything is always 1 and 2^4 is 2x2x2x2 which is 16
So 5^2-1^5x2^4 = 25-1x16 which is then 25-16 = 9
b) 7^2+4^3 divided by 2^5 so 7^2 is 7x7 which = 49 then 4^3 means 4x4x4 = 64 and 2^5 is 2x2x2x2x2 which equals 32 so
7^2+4^3 divides by 2^5 is 49+64/32 = 49+2 which is 51

The value of 7y–2 is 10 more than the value of 2y
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y=12/5 (in decimal notation y=2.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of 7y-2 = 10 more than 2y

7y-2 = 10+2y

7y-2y = 10+2

5y = 12

y = 12/5

y = 2.4

Solve this equation -3x+1+10x=x+4
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: x=\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

We have been given with the equation -3x+1+10x=x+4

We will collect the terms that are written in variable of x in one side and the constant values on the other side we will get

-3x+10x-x=4-1

After simplification we will get  6x=3

which implies x=1/2

When x from right hand side shift  will shift to left hand side it will change its sign and similarly when 1 from left hand side shift to right hand side change its sign.

Therefore, x=1/2

What is the solution to this equation x/5=25
amid [387]

Answer:

x = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x}{5} = 25

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

x = 5 × 25 = 125

x = 125

Can someone explain box plots
slamgirl [31]

The correct answer is C because the lowest number is 4 ( out of all the numbers ), which is the dot to the above the number 4 and the largest number is 14, that is also marked by a dot above the number 18. The medians are ( the middle number ) 8 and 10, so you are going to add these to numbers together, 8 + 10 = 18, and then you have to divide it by 2, 18 ÷ 2 = 9, which means the median is 9, which is the middle line. For the 1st quartile, you have to add both the 7's and divide by 2, 7+7=14 ÷ 2 = 7, so then the 1st quartile is 7, the line closest to the 4, repeat this for the 3rd quartile, 11 + 13 = 24 ÷ 2 = 12, 3rd quartile = 12, the line closest to the number 14.
