What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is

Answer:

The slope of the other line is -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the line ;

10x - 8y = -80

The first thing to do here is to write the equation in the standard form for a linear equation.

The standard form is y = mx + c where m refers to the slope and c refers to the y-intercept

Rewriting the equation we have;

8y-80 = 10x

8y = 10x + 80

Now divide the through by 8

We have;

y = 10x/8 + 10

Thus, comparing with y = mx + c , our m here is 10/8

Now for the two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slope would be equals to -1

Let’s say the slopes are m1 and m2

mathematically m1m2 = -1

since m1 = 10/8

10m2/8 = -1

m2 = -8/10

m2 = -4/5

A square park has an area of 6561 square meters. If you walk around the park what is the distance that you would have walked?
Paraphin [41]
First we have to find length of 1 side of the square. We can use formula for area of the square. A=a*a   ==>  A=a^2 where a is length of the side.
From this formula we can find
a= \sqrt{A}
a=\sqrt{6561} =81 - 1 side
Now we just have to multiply it by 4, because there are 4 sides.
81*4=324 - its the answer

in 2007, your company's sales revenues were $400,000. A vigorous advertising campaign increased sales by 20% in 2008, and then b
azamat

first we multiply 400,000 by 1.20 which equals 480,000 which is the sales revenue for 2008 now we multiply 480,000 by 1.30 which equals 624,000

so your sales revenue for 2009 is $640,000
