Let's say Jackson's age now is x.
In 20 years, (so 20+x), Jackson seven years ago will be 2/5ths of that age.
So 2/5(20+x)=x-7
Then you solve the equation
8+2/5x=x-7
15=3/5x
x=25
Jackson is 25 years old.
Let's check our answer! In 20 years, Jackson will be 45. 7 years ago, he was 18. 2/5 of 45 is 18. Our answer is correct!
I think it’s 2x1 hope this helps
1) find slope. when its perpendicular, It will be a negative reciprocal to the given slope so m1= -1/m1
m=-1
2)
y =-1x+b
(-3)=-1(2)+b
-3=-2+b
b=-1
3) y=-1x-1
hope I helped!
