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!

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The year is  b =  1995

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The percentage of the number of babies born out of wedlock in 1990 is  k = 28%

    The percentage by which the number increase per year is  i = 0.6%

     The percentage of of the number of babies born out of wedlock considered is  a = 31%

Generally the difference in between the percentage in 1990 and the percentage considered is  

       d =  a - k

=>    d =  31 - 28

=>   d =  3\%

Generally the number of year require for the percentage to be equal  to  31%  is mathematically represented as

       n = \frac{3\%}{0.6\%}

=>     n = 5\ years

Generally the year which the considered percentage will be attained is  

    b =  1990 + n

=> b =  1990 + 5

=> b =  1995
