Answer: -5

Solution: Calculate the midpoint of a segment defined by two points A(Xa , Ya) and B(Xb,Yb). The midpoint is a point whose x and y coordinates are given by

X coordinate of Midpoint= (Xa+Xb) / 2

Y coordinate of Midpoint= (Ya+Yb) / 2

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

HACTEHA [7]

First, let's re-arrange to slope-intercept form.

x + 8y = 27

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

8y = -x + 27

Divide 8 to both sides:

y = -1/8x + 3.375

So the slope of this line is -1/8, to find the slope that is perpendicular to this, we multiply it by -1 and flip it. -1/8 * -1 = 1/8, flipping it will give us 8/1 or 8.

So the slope of the perpendicular line will be 8.

Now we can plug this into point-slope form along with the point given.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 8(x + 5)

y - 5 = 8x + 40

y = 8x + 45
