Y = -1/5x + 2

A line perpendicular to another line has an opposite reciprocal slope. What opposite means is that you flip the sign (from - to + or from + to -) and reciprocal means that you flip the numerator and denominator (so if line A is perpendicular to line B and line As slope is -3, line Bs slope would be 1/3).

First find the slope of 5x - y = -3
Add y to both sides
5x = y - 3
Add 3 to both sides
y = 5x + 3

So the slope of the line is 5. That means the slope of of the perpendicular line is -1/5.

Plug the slope of the perpendicular line and the point (5, 1) into point slope form to solve the equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1/5(x - 5)
y - 1 = -1/5x + 1
y = -1/5x + 2

Match the fractions with Equivalent percentages
Mrrafil [7]

In order to match each of the pairs you need to divide the numerator by the denominator to make it into a decimal.

Below are the pairs:

21/25 = 84%

13/20 = 65%

2/5 = 40%

3/4 = 75%

3/5 = 60%

strojnjashka [21]

Solution

Problem 6

For this case we can do this:

12, 16,__, 14, 8, 7

We can solve for x like this:

\frac{12+16+x+14+8+7}{6}=13x=13\cdot6-(12+16+14+8+7)=21

-5 1/3 converted to an improper fraction
julsineya [31]

Answer:

-16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

as the mixed fraction is -5 1/3

first multiply the denominator with the whole number 3 x -5 = -15

then you add 1 to the whole number without the negative sign = -16

the improper fraction then equal -16/3

goblinko [34]
It’s 52 because there are two sides with 64 degrees (the bottom two sides) and you add those to sides together and subtract your combine angle of the bottom 2 sides by 180 degrees which is the degree of all triangles combine and get 52
