We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
First multiply each term by 24(the common denominator found by 8×3) to remove the fractions and make things easier.
This will give you,
Then just continue to simplify and isolate the variable.
That equals 27 hope this helps

Is there like a multiple choice so I could answer it:)
Answer:
0.09
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, we can write 0.9 as a fraction. Reading this, we would say "nine tenths"; this means the number in fraction form is 9/10.
The word "of" in mathematics means we multiply. Thus when we take 1/10 "of" 9/10, we multiply the two:
1/10(9/10)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:
1/10(9/10) = (1*9)/(10*10) = 9/100
Converting this back to a decimal, we read 9/100 as "nine one-hundredths"; this means decimal form is 0.09.
