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

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

7949.13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Angle of depression from the spot to the group = 39°

Height of Grand Canyon = 5000 feet.

So, we will get the following figure of a right triangle.

<em>As, 'in a right triangle, the angles and the sides can be written in trigonometric form'.</em>

We get, \sin A=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}

i.e. \sin 39=\frac{5000}{x}

i.e. x=\frac{5000}{\sin 39}

i.e. x=\frac{5000}{0.629}

i.e. x = 7949.13 feet

Thus, the line of sight distance is 7949.13 feet.

How much does mike charge a new customer to ship a package that weighs 50 pounds ? He chargers $40 per pound.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

$2000

Step-by-step explanation:

For each pound, the charge is $40. There are 50 such charges. The point of multiplication is to simplify the process of repeated addition.

... 50 × $40 = $2000

What is the volume of the rectangular prism? A prism has a length of 6 meters, height of 4.5 meters, and width of 5.5 meters. 16
Sidana [21]

Answer:

148.5 meters^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism can be found using the following formula.

V=l*w*h

The length is 6 meters. The height is 4.5 meters. The width is 5.5 meters. Substitute these values into the formula.

V=6*5.5*4.5

Multiply all the values together

V=33*4.5

V=148.5

Add appropriate units. Volume uses units^3 and the units are meters.

V=148.5 meters^3

The volume of the rectangular prism is 148.5 cubic meters.
