Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is ( 5 , - 2) and slope is - 2/5

The equation of the line is

y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} (x - 5) \\ y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 \\ y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\

Hope this helps you

The measures of all angles in this geometry are 90 degrees.

  21x +6 = 90

  21x = 84 . . . . . subtract 6

  x = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 21
