Answer:

y = 2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c, m is the gradient and c is the intercept

The line passes through points 4 and -5, x is 4 and y is -5

-5 = 4m + c

When two lines are perpendicular, the products of their gradients are equal to -1, m1 * m2 = -1

x + 2y = 5

2y = -x + 5

y = (-1/2 * x) + 5

therefore m = -1/2

m1 * m2 = -1

m * -1/2 = -1

-m = -2 , therefore m = 2

-5 = 4 * 2 + c

c = -5 - 8, which is -13

Therefore the equation for the line is

y = 2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

$AB=\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(5-8)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt5\\\\BC=|-1-5|=|-6|=6\\\\CD=\sqrt{(-2-6)^2+(-4-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{64+9}=\sqrt{73}\\\\DE=\sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2+(3-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{9+49}=\sqrt{58}\\\\EA=\sqrt{(0-(-5))^2+(8-3)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{25\cdot2}=5\sqrt2$

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

m ∠ 1 = 27°

m ∠ 1 and m ∠ 2 are supplementary

m ∠ 1 + m ∠ 2 = 180°

27° + m ∠2 = 180°

m ∠ 2 = 180° - 27°

m = 2 = 153°
