Answer:

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope.

Your equation should be:

-5y = -3x +6

Divide all parts by -5.

y = 3/5x - 6/5

Since the perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope, the slope will be -5/3.

Now you must make an equation in point-slope form. This is an example of that form. You will need at least one point to make this equation work. In this case we have (-8,0).

In put the y and x coordinates like this:

y - 0 = -5/3(x - (-8)

Start solving the equation.

y - 0 = -5/3(x + 8)

y - 0 = -5/3 * x - 40/3

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

This is your equation.

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

(You can make it -5/3x in your answer but it looks weird online. You may think that it is -5 divided by 3 times x, but it actually is 5/3 times x. That's why I wrote it as y = -5/3 * x - 40/3)

Answer:

  5x +3y = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

When the equation of a line is given in standard form, the equation of the perpendicular line can be found by swapping the coefficients of x and y, and negating one of them.

Here, that means the equation ...

  3x -5y = constant

becomes

  5x +3y = new constant

The value of the new constant is found by putting the given point coordinates in the expression on the left:

  5x +3y = 5(-8) +3(0) = -40

The equation of the perpendicular line is ...

  5x +3y = -40

Schach [20]

Answer:

A) Yes, for each increase of 25 employees there is an increase of 150 products.

B) y = 6x + 10

C) the slope indicates the increase that will occur in the y-value for each unitary increase in the x-value, and the y-intercept indicates the inicial value of y (when x = 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Yes, there is a linear correlation, because a linear increase in the number of employees causes a linear increase in the number of products. For each increase of 25 employees there is an increase of 150 products.

B)

We can use two pair of points to write a linear equation in the model:

y = ax + b

Using x = 0 and y = 10, we have:

10 = a * 0 + b -> b = 10

Using x = 25 and y = 160, we have:

160 = a * 25 + 10

25a = 150 -> a = 6

So the equation is:

y = 6x + 10

C)

the slope indicates the increase that will occur in the y-value (number of products) for each unitary increase in the x-value (number of employees), and the y-intercept indicates the inicial value of y (when x = 0, that is, no employees)
