First find slope:

20-0/-8+10= 20/2= 10

Slope=10

next use point slope form and solve it:

y-0=10(x+10)

y=10x+100

b=100

Given are the two points (-10,0) and (-8,20), and equation of the line as y=mx+b.

We can plug the given values in the equation as follows :-

0 = -10m + b .........equation(1)

20 = -8m + b .........equation(2)

Subtracting equation(1) from equation(2)

20 - 0 = (-8m + b) - (-10m + b)

20 = -8m + b + 10m - b

20 = 10m - 8m

20 = 2m

m = 10

Plugging m=10 in the equation(1)

0 = -10(10) + b

0 = -100 + b

b = 100

So final answer is b = 100.

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x – 4y = - 3 that passes through the point (-5,2).

kolezko [41]

Answer: 5y + 4x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradients = -1.

If the gradient of the first line is $m_{1}$ and the gradient of the second line is $m_{2}$ , if the lines are perpendicular, them

$m_{1}$ x $m_{2}$ = -1 , that is

$m_{1}$ = $\frac{-1}{m_{2} }$

The equation of the line given is 5x - 4y = -3 , we need to write this equation in slope - intercept form in order to find the slope.

The equation in slope -intercept form is given as :

y =mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Writing the equation in this form , we have

5x - 4y = + 3

4y = 5x -+3

y = 5x/4 + 3/4

comparing with the equation y = mx + c , then $m_{1}$ = 5/4

Which means that $m_{2}$ = -4/5 and the line passes through the point ( -5 , 2 ).

Using the equation of line in slope - point form to find the equation of the line;

y - $y_{1}$ = m ( x - $y_{1}$ )

y - 2 = -4/5 ( x +5)

5(y - 2 ) = -4 ( x + 5 )

5y - 10 = -4x - 20

5y + 4x = - 10

4. Which of these non-terminating decimals can be converted into a rational number? A. 0.874387438743... B. 0.0000100020003... C

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: A. 0.874387438743.. is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number if it can be in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0

Since we can write 0.874387438743... = $\frac{8743}{9999}$

Where, 8743 and 9999 are integers and 9999≠0

Thus, 0.874387438743... is a rational number.

But, 0.0000100020003... , 5.891420975..... and 10.07401259... can not be written in the form of p/q therefore they are not the rational number.

Therefore, Only Option A is correct.
