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.

What is the question? Can you show more info or show anything they gave you?
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5y=619
x=10y-3
________
2(10y-3) +5y=619
20y-6+5y=619
25y=619+6
25y=625
y=625/25
y=25
x=10*25-3
x=250-3
x=247
The ratio being 0.55 means 55% of students voted for the person who ended up winning. If there were 40 people who voted, just find 55% of 40.
This is done by 0.55 • 40, which equals 22.
So 22 students voted for the person who ended up winning.
