Answer:

Option A. y= -1/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

y=5x-2

The slope m is

m=5

step 2

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=5

(5)*m2=-1

m2=-1/5

therefore

The equation of a line perpendicular to the given line could be

y= -1/5x + 5

Answer:

The value of $B (base\ area) = 27m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall the the formula for volume of a pyramid.

Volume of a Pyramid $= \frac{1}{3}\times B\times H}$ ....equation $(1)$

where $B=Base\ area (m^2)$ and $H=height\ (m)$

Now we have been given the values of $V$ and $H$ and have to find the value of $B$

Plugging the values of $V$ and $H$ in equation $(1)$

$B=\frac{3\times V}{H}= \frac{3 \times 81}{9} = 27\ m^2$

Now we can also check our previous results.

$V = \frac{24\times 7}{3}=8 \times 7 =56\ m^3$

So, our final answer is $27\ m^2$

Whitepunk [10]

If he grew 12 flowers with 3 seed packets then there should be 4 seeds in one packet > 3 x 4 = 12
Devin needs 5 seed packets to have a total of 20 flowers in his garden
> 4 x 5 = 20
