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

Answer for number 4 is $\frac{\bold2}{\bold3}$ hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum hour spent for all homework (English homework + math homework) is 2 hours.

Let us assume the hours spent for English homework be 'e'.

It is given that:

(Hours spent for math homework) = 2 × (Hours spent for English homework)

Hours spent for math homework = 2 × e = 2e

Total hours spent = (Hours spent for math homework) + (Hours spent for English homework)

Total hours spent = 2e + e = 3e

2 = 3e

3e = 2

∴ e = $\frac{\bold2}{\bold3}$

Therefore number of hours spent on English homework is equal to $\frac{\bold2}{\bold3}$ hours.
