Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 8 = 12 Add 8 to both sides
x -8 + 8 = 12 + 8 Add -8 and 8; add 12 and 8
x = 20
We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
21/4 is equivalent to...
4 x 5 = 20
so, 21/4 = 5 1/4
5 1/4 = 5.25
5 1/4 = 5 2/8 = 42/8
42/8 = 84/16
