The first step to solving an equation like this is to find the slope of a line that will be perpendicular to the line given. The slope of a line that's perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. So, so far our equation is y = 5x + b. Now, to find what b is equal to, we should substitute the values of x and y from the point (1,2) since we know that our line goes through the point. Our equation becomes:
2 = 5 + b
b= -3
That means that the equation of our new line is y = 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-8y=40
This is a linear equation, and its graph is a right line, we only need two points, because by two points only goes trough only a right line:
1) For x=0→ -5(0)-8y=40
0-8y=40
-8y=40
Dividing both sides of the equation by -8:
-8y/(-8)=40/(-8)
y=-5
Point=(x,y)→Point=(0,-5)
2) For y=0→ -5x-8(0)=40
-5x-0=40
-5x=40
Dividing both sides of the equation by -5:
-5x/(-5)=40/(-5)
x=-8
Point=(x,y)→Point=(-8,0)
With these two points (0,-5) and (-8,0) we can draw the right line.
Answer:
width =5.5ft
length =18
Step-by-step explanation:
w=x
L=2x+7
area=w*L
99 = x(2x+7)



2x(x+9)-11(x+9)=0
(2x-11)(x+9)=0
2x-11=0
2x=11
x=11/2
x=5.5
L=2x+7=2*5.5+7=11+7=18
