Answer:

x = -3

There is a base f 5 on the left side, so write the denominator on the right as a base of

5 as well.

125

Move the base to the numerator.

−

If the bases are equal, the indices are equal:

Answer:

The answer is 1/625

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because 5a = 1/125

Therefore, to find the value of "a" we need to divide!

So, a = 1/125 / 5

⇒ 1/125 × 1/5 ( Reciprocal when we divide )

⇒ 1/125 × 5

→ 1/625

I hope this answer helps!

15 POINTSSS ANSWER ASAP PLEASE!!!!! What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The Answer is : D

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line that the equation should be parallel to. In this case it is 2/1 which simplified is 2.

Next insert the X (4) of the point (4,1) and solve to see if you get the Y(1).

y-1 = 2 (4-4)

y-1= 2 (0)

y-1= 0

y= 1

In this case D is correct.

TIP*

If you see the question ask you about a parallel formula, look at the slopes of them to see if they match up. Parallel formulas have the same slope, just a tip because you can see in the answer choices none of the equations have the same slope as the line on the graph except for D.

Q4: Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that is perpendicular to

forsale [732]

Answer:

5y = x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Equation of the line ;

y = -5x + 1

Coordinates = (2, -1)

Find the equation of a line perpendicular;

Solution:

A line perpendicular to y = -5x + 1 will have slope that is a negative inverse of the given one.

Equation of a straight line is expressed as;

y = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

So, the slope of the new line perpendicular is $\frac{1}{5}$ ;

Now let us find the y-intercept of the new line;

x = -1 and y = 2

2 = $\frac{1}{5}$ x (-1) + c

c = 2 + $\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{11}{5}$

The equation of the new line is;

y = $\frac{1}{5}$ x + $\frac{11}{5}$

or multiply through by 5;

5y = x + 11
