Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is perpendicular to the line y = 1/5x +

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\=========================$

$\text{We have}\ y=\dfrac{1}{5}x+10\to m_1=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{5}}=-5.\\\\\text{Put the value of a slope and the coordinates of the point (-3, 5)}\\\text{to the equation}\ y=mx+b:\\\\5=-5(-3)+b\\5=15+b\qquad\text{subtract 15 from both sides}\\-10=b\to b=-10\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=-5x-10$

Which arrangement shows 318 , 3.7, 334 , and 3.89 in order from least to greatest?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Which arrangement shows $3\frac{1}{8}$ , 3.7, $3\frac{3}{4}$ , and 3.89 in order from least to greatest?"</h3><h3> </h3>

Convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers.

The steps to do this, are the following:

1. You must divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.

2. Then you must add the quotient obtained to the whole number part.

Applying this procedure, you get that:

$3\frac{1}{8}=3+0.125=3.125$
