Let's rewrite each equation in the Slope-Intercept Form of the Equation of a Line. First, let's start with the main equation:


\bullet \ 5x-2y=-6 \therefore y=\frac{5}{2}x+3


Then, our options are the following:

A) \ y = -\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ B) \ 2x+5y=-10 \therefore y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ C) \ 2x-5y=-10 \therefore y=\frac{2}{5}x+2 \\ \\ D) \ y+4=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5) \therefore y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ E) \ y-4=\frac{5}{2}(x + 5) \therefore y=\frac{5}{2}x+\frac{33}{2}


For two perpendicular lines it is true that the product of its slopes is:

m_{1}m_{2}=-1


m_{1}m_{2}=-1 \\ \\ m_{1} \ is \ the \ slope \ of \ y=\frac{5}{2}x+3, \ that \ is, \ m_{1}=\frac{5}{2} \\ \\ Then, \ the \ slope \ of \ a \ perpendicular \ line \ is: \\ \\ m_{2}=-\frac{2}{5}


According to this, only A) B) and D) might be the perpendicular lines we are looking for. Notice that these lines are the same. The other condition is that the line must pass through the point (5, -4). By substituting this point in the equation, we have:

y = -\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ -4=-\frac{2}{5}(5)-2 \\ \\ -4=-2-2 \\ \\ \boxed{-4=-4} \ True!


Finally, the right answer are:

A) \ y = -\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ B) \ 2x+5y=-10 \\ \\ D) \ y+4=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5)

The perpendicular equation is y = -2/5x - 2

You can find this by first realizing that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So since it starts at 5/2 we flip it and make it a negative and the new slope is -2/5. Now we can use that and the point to get the y intercept using slope intercept form.

y = mx + b

-4 = (-2/5)(5) + b

-4 = -2 + b

-2 = b

And now we can use our new slope and new intercept to model the equation.

y = -2/5x - 2

This equation is also equal to 2x + 5y = -10 and y + 4 = -2/5(x - 5)

Ethan's taxable income is $87,525. Use this tax schedule to calculate the total amount he owes in taxes.
Reptile [31]
$18,617.75 is the answer
$87,525-$77,100=$10,425 (the amount over $77,100)
$10,425 x .28=$2,919 (the 28% taxed amount over $77,100)
$2,919+$15,698.75 (the already taxed amount in the chart)=$18,617.75

Zack, Rachel, and Maddie are unraveling a huge ball of yarn to see how long it is. As they move away from each other, they form
Korolek [52]
We are tasked to solve the three angles given that we have the measurements of the sides such as
a = Zack to Rachel distance
b = Rachel to Maddie distance
c = Maddie to Zack distance

a =3
b =2.5
c =4

Solving the angles we need to use Law of Cosines:
cos A = 2.5² + 4² -3² /2*2.5*4
A = 48.59°

cos B=3² + 4² - 2.5² / 2*3*4
B = 38.625°

C=180 - 48.59° - 38.625°
C= 92.79°

The three angles are 48.59°,38.63° and 92.79°.
