We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
the red height is 48 by pythagorean, and by 3:4:5 similarity x=64.
{2x+y=11
{-x+2y=2 //*2
{2x+y=11
+
{-2x+4y=4
5y=15
y=3
-x+6=2
x=4
Answer
x=4; y=3
Check the picture below.
notice that the car exits the northbound highway, and whilst going at 50mph for 1.5 hours, that simply means going for 75 miles.
make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
