Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon has 5 sides. Given that it is a regular pentagon, these 5 sides are equal.

The perimeter is the total length of all the sides of the pentagon. Since these 5 sides are all equal, we can divide the perimeter by 5 to obtain the length of a side of the pentagon.

Perimeter= 10x +15

Length of each side

= (10x +15) ÷5

= 2x +3

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x – 5 and passes through the point (1, -3).

Svetradugi [14.3K]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\qquad \qquad y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-5$

well then therefore

$\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1})\implies y+3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{8}{3}$
