The equation of line AB is (y-3)= 5(x-4). What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line AB?

1 answer:

4 0

*Hint: When the slope of a line is perpendicular, it would have the negative reciprocal.

First, let's simplify this equation into y = mx + b format.

y - 3 = 5(x - 4)
y - 3 = 5x - 20
y = 5x - 17

Since 5 is the slope of this equation, the negative reciprocal would be -1/5.

Answer: -1/5

<span>20x + 12y = 1040
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12y' to each side of the equation. 20x + 12y + -12y = 1040 + -12y Combine like terms: 12y + -12y = 0 20x + 0 = 1040 + -12y 20x = 1040 + -12y Divide each side by '20'. x = 52 + -0.6y
thats the first part
then we have
</span>25x + 16y = 1350
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-16y' to each side of the equation.
25x + 16y + -16y = 1350 + -16y
Combine like terms:
16y + -16y = 0 25x + 0 = 1350 + -16y
25x = 1350 + -16y
Divide each side by '25'. x = 54 + -0.64y
