Answer:

Slope of line M= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals for slope.

For ex: 1/2x=y is perpendicular to -2x=y

For this one simplify the first equation:

x+1=5y

x/5+1/5=y

The slope of the original equation is 1/5.

So the slope of the perpendicular line would be -5.

The actual equation would be:

-5x+19=Y

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-4\ \vee\ x=7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-3x-28=0\\\\x^2+4x-7x-28=0\\\\x(x+4)-7(x+4)=0\\\\(x+4)(x-7)=0\iff x+4=0\ \vee\ x-7=0\\\\x+4=0\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\x=-4\\\\x-7=0\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\x=7$
