Answer:

y = 6/5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's fix this equation

5x + 6y = 36 (subtract 5x on both sides)

6y = -5x + 36 (divide by 6 on both sides)

y = -5/6x + 6

NOW

The perpendicular slope of this equation is 6/5

Now we have to plug in (-5,-4) to get the y-intercept

-4 = 6/5(-5) + b  (distribute 6/5 to -5)  (b represents the y-intercept)

-4 = -6 + b (add 6 on both sides)

2 = b

So your equation is...

y = 6/5x + 2

HOPE THIS HELPED!!!!!

A number is multiplied by 8 and the result is 28.

A number= x.

8(x)= 28

Divide both sides by 8.

28/8= 3.5

x= 3.5
