Answer:

B. multiply both sides by c.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation for x, you have to isolate the x variable on one side of the equation. To do this, do the opposite of any operation applied to x to remove other variables from the x's side of the equation:

x/c = d

multiply both sides of the equation by c to isolate x:

(x/c) * c = d * c

x = dc

Now x can be solved for.

Hope this helps :)

The slope-intercept form given (6,-5) & perpendicular to -5x - 7y = -17.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac{7}{5}x-\dfrac{67}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

$y=mx+b$

where:

m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.

Rearrange the given equation so that it is in slope-intercept form:

$\implies -5x-7y=-17$

$\implies -7y=5x-17$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+\dfrac{17}{7}$

Therefore, the slope of the given equation is -⁵/₇.

If two lines are perpendicular to each other (at right angles), the product of their slopes will be -1. Therefore, their slopes will be negative reciprocals of each other.

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation is:

$\sf m=\dfrac{7}{5}$
