Slope of a line perpendicular to 5x -9y = 1

The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So first we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving the equation for y.

5x - 9y = 1

-9y = -5x + 1

y = 5/9x - 1/9

To do the opposite, take the original slope (5/9) and change the sign (-5/9).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-5/9) and flip it as a fraction (-9/5).

This gives us a new slope of

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

= 6 over 23 (or = 6/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions 3 5/6 = 23/6

Convert element to fraction

= 1 divide 23/6

Apply the fraction rule: a/b divide c/d = a/b x d/c

= 1 over 1 (or 1/1) divide 23/6

Apply rule a/a = 1

= 1 over 1 (or 1/1) x 6/23

Multiply 1x 6/23 = 6/23

= 1 x 6/23

ANSWER 6/23

Hope this helps!

2. Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 20

2x + 3(10-4x) = 20

2x + 30 - 12x = 20

combine like terms

-10x + 30 =  20

        -30      -30

-10x = -10

divide both sides by -10

x = 1

Hope this Helps!!!
