2/3x-1/5=x-1

Add similar elements 23x-15=8x

Subtract x from both sides 8x-x=x-1-x

Simply 7x=-x

Divide both sides by 7 7x = -1
__ __. *Simply: x=-1/7

%(-3)^-5 =1/x,
(-3)^{-5}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{(-3)^5}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 1\cdot x=(-3)^5\cdot 1\implies x=(-3)^5

The equation of line WX is y = −2x − 5. Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that contai
Kryger [21]

Answer:

y = (1/2)x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line WX is -2.  Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to line WX is the negative reciprocal of -2, or +1/2.

Substitute -2 for y, -1 for x and 1/2 for m in   y = mx + b, for the purpose of finding b:

-2 = (1/2)(-1) + b.  Multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

-4 = -1 + b.  Then b = -3, and the desired equation is y = (1/2)x - 3.
