2 hours

so, 1/3+ 1/6

=2/6 + 1/6

Write the equation of a Line that is perpendicular to y=5/2x+3 and passes

koban [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of perpendicular lines = -1

y = 5/2x + 3

$m_{1}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\m_{1}*m_{2}=-1\\\\$

$m_{2}=$ -1 ÷ $m_{1}$

= $-1*\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-2}{5}$

(-3 , -5)

Equation of the required line: y - y₁ = m(x -x₁)

y - [5] = $\frac{-2}{5}(x - [-3])\\$

$y+5=\frac{-2}{5}x + 3*\frac{-2}{5}\\\\y+5=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}\\\\ y =\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-5\\\\ y = \frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{5*5}{1*5}\\\\ y = \frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{25}{5}\\\\\\ y=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{31}{5}$
