Hey there!

First, we want to put the equation of this first line in slope-intercept form.

5y=x-5

We divide both sides by 5.

y=1/5x-1.

The slope of a perpendicular is line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with the equation y=1/2x would be -2, because you flip the numerator and denominator and then make it negative.

So, this means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=1/5x-1 is -5. So, here's our equation so far.

y= -5x+b

Now, we need to find the b. To do this, we can plug in this point (-1,0) that this perpendicular line goes through and solve for b.

0=-5(-1)+b

0=5+b

b= -5

So, this gives us the equation y= -5x-5

Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/DF

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are designated by letters in corresponding positions in the triangle names. For example, of one segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of one triangle name (such as AB), then the corresponding segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of the other triangle name (such as DE).

Corresponding segments are proportional in length. Corresponding angles are congruent.

Given y=x2 + 9x + 20 find the zeroes.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

x=-5   x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2 + 9x + 20

We need to factor the equation

What 2 numbers multiply to 20 and add to 9

4*5 = 20

4+5 =9

y=(x+5) (x+4)

To find the zero's we set the equation equal to zero

0= (x+5) (x+4)

Using the zero product property

x+5 = 0   x+4=0

x=-5   x=-4
