Answer:

y=(-6/5)x+8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is perpendicular to 5x-6y=9, then it must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal.

1) Fine the slope of the first line by setting the equation equal to y.

5x-6y=9

5x-9= 6y

(5/6)x-1.5=y

slope= 5/6

2) Find the negative reciprocal of the slope

slope: 5/6

reciprocal: 6/5

negative reciprocal: -6/5

3) We now get to use the points (-3, 5) by plugging them into slope-intercept form. The goal is finding the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

5=(-6/5)(-3)+b

5=(-18/5)+b

5= -3.6+b

b= 8.6

4) Now we put everything back in slope-intercept form.

y=(-6/5)x+8.6

anastassius [24]
The ratio between the perimeters of two similar polygons is the same as the ratio between the corresponding sides.
12:15=30:x
12x=15*30
12x=450
x=450/12=37.5
37.5 is the answer.

What is the percent of change?
vitfil [10]
4/5 is larger than 3/5, if the amount is getting smaller it is a decrease.
Because it is a decrease, you must subtract the orginal number from the new number and divide by the orginal. 4/5-3/5=1/5 1/5÷4/5= 1/4
1/4=.25
The percent of change is 25%
