<h3>Answer: perpendicular slope is -2/3</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Solve the given equation for y

2y = 3x - 10

y = (3x-10)/2 ..... divide both sides by 2

y = (3x)/2 - 10/2

y = (3/2)x - 5

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 3/2 as the slope.

The perpendicular slope is -2/3 because we flip the fraction and the sign from positive to negative.

Note how multiplying the original slope 3/2 and the perpendicular slope -2/3 leads to -1

(3/2)*(-2/3) = -1

This is true for any pair of perpendicular lines, assuming neither line is vertical.

Answer: x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

x/8 - 5 = -1

Add 5 both sides : x/8 = 4

Multiply both sides by four: x=4 times 8

$\text {Hi!}$

$\text {The Answer to this Problem Is:}$

$\fbox {True!}$

$\text {When we look at a number line with positive and negative numbers we see}$ $\text {that positives are to the right and negatives are to the left.}$

$\text {As you can see the number line on the image that all}$ $\text {the negative numbers are to the left and positive numbers are to the right.}$

$\text {\underline {Remember}}$

$\text {Positive to the Right.}$

$\text {Negative to the Left.}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$

Hey hun can any of y'all help me?

11111nata11111 [884]

$\bf \cfrac{5}{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{x+1}}\qquad \cfrac{}{\impliedby LCD\textit{ will be 6(x+1)}}\implies \cfrac{5}{\frac{1(x+1)+1(6)}{6(x+1)}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{5}{\frac{x+1+6}{6(x+1)}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{5}{1}}{\frac{x+7}{6(x+1)}}\implies \cfrac{5}{1}\cdot \cfrac{6(x+1)}{x+7}\implies \cfrac{30(x+1)}{x+7}$

and you can expand the numerator if you wish, it won't be simplified further though.
