Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b
<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8
The slope of line A is -5/8.
If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then
slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5
So like B has the equation
y = (8/5)x + b
If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6
So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6
m = 8/5 and b = -6
so
m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5
So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

Answer:
rise/run= -20/5= -4/1=-4 slope
or you sound use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-9-11)/(1+4)
-20/5
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 4 is (1,2)
Question 5 is (1,0)
These are are definitely correct
Answer:
1 solution.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
9(z + 8) = -9z - 72
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 9: 9x + 72 = -9z - 72
- Add 9z to both sides: 18z + 72 = -72
- Subtract 72 on both sides: 18z = -144
- Divide 18 on both sides: z = -8
Here we see that we will get only 1 solution for <em>z</em>.
Measure the sides. And when you get all of the sides add them I'll and get the perimeter I think.
