What equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y=-2/5x + 5

Mathematics

Vilka [71]2 years ago

Answer:  y = 5/2 x + 5 or  more clearly:  y = \frac{5}{2}x+ 5

Step-by-step explanation:  Slope intercept form y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

To write the equation for a perpendicular line

Both lines could share the y-intercept, (0,5) so the "b" term can be the same. But it may be different. The slope of a perpendicular line is the reciprocal of the original slope with the opposite sign.

So invert 2/5 to become 5/2 and change the negative sign to positive.

The resulting equation is y = 5x/2 + 5 or  y = 2.5x + 5

Answer:

10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

KET\cong KIT...... (given)

\therefore KE \cong KI.... (csct)

\therefore m(KE) =m(KI)

\therefore 10x-34= 4x + 29

\therefore 10x-4x= 34 + 29

\therefore 6x= 63

\therefore x=\frac{63}{6}

\therefore x=10.5
