To find the slope of the perpendicular line, you can take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to.

Taking the negative reciprocal of -1/5 gives 5.

Now we have y=5x+b, where b is the y-intercept. Since we know that the perpendicular line passes through the point (1,4), we can substitute those values into the equation we have to find b.

y=5x+b

4=5(1)+b

4=5+b

b=-1

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=5x-1.

Rita has the following data:
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The range is the difference between the largest number and the smallest number. This means you subtract the smallest number from the largest number. If the range is 8, then you can add 8 to the smallest number on the list to get the largest number, m.
Our smallest number is 12, so add 8 to 12.
8 + 12 = 20, so m is 20.
I hope this helps!

A college student takes the same number of credits each semester. They had 5 credits when they started, and after 2 semesters, t
gogolik [260]

The rate at which the college student earns credit is 13 credits per semester.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is the statement that illustrates the variables given. In this case, two or more components are taken into consideration to describe the scenario.

Let the credit earned each semester be x.

This will be illustrated as:

5 + 2x = 31

Collect like terms

2x = 31 - 5

2x = 26

Divide

x = 26/2

x = 13

The rate is 13 credits per semester.
