Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 5y=x−5 through the point (-1,0).

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:

1) 5^2=25

2) 5^2=x

3) b^3=64

Step-by-step explanation:

To write logs of the form log_ba=x in their exponential form, you take the base b and put it to the power of x and then set that equal to a: b^x=a.

1. Here, b = 5, a = 25, and x = 2, so: 5^2=25

2. In this problem, b = 5, x = 2, and a = x, so: 5^2=x

3. Finally, here, b = b, a = 64, and x = 3, so: b^3=64

Hope this helps!

Solve for x. Show your work with proper statements and notation.
9966 [12]

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles around point O = 360°, thus

x + 3x + 256 = 360 , that is

4x + 256 = 360 ( subtract 256 from both sides )

4x = 104 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 26

Mariana [72]

The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and

Kingston? ___________________________

b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the

distance on the map be? ___________________________

c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

<u>The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be </u><u>3 inches</u><u> on this map.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is <u>1 inch = 2.5 miles.</u>

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

<u>y = 3 inches.</u>

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.
