Y=-3/5x-46/5 or y=-3/5x-9 1/5

Answer:

y= -3/5x - 46/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is perpendicular to y=5/3x-5, We can find the gradient since perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal gradients of each other, so in this case the gradient of the line is -3/5. We have a point, we have the gradient, so we can substitute in y=mx+c to find the y-intercept c, so -5 = (-3/5)(-7) + c.

Calculating will give c= -46/5

so the equation is y= (-3/5)x + (-46/5)

Numbers that are greater than 5 and less than 5.75
Goshia [24]
The easy way to think about this is what number comes between 5 and 7? The answer is 6 (but we have to consider that it's negative in this case.) So the answer is -6 Another way to look at it is with a number line (not to "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? scale.)<===(-7)==(-6)==(-5)==(-3)==(-2)==(-1)==(0)==(1)==>Notice how -6 comes between the two numbers. -6 is larger than -7 (it's "less negative" -- "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? closer to zero) -6 is less than -5 (it's "more negative" -- further away from zero)

Use formulas to find the lateral and surface are of the given prism the numbers are 5.39m 26m 5m 2m 
MrMuchimi
3(24) + 2(24) + 5.39(24) = 72 + 48 + 129.36 = 249.36 ~ 249m^2 

<span>Total Surface Area: </span>
<span>(add to the above) </span>
<span>2(1/2)(3)(2) = 6m^2 (area of the two triangles) </span>
