Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so the slope will be -3.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b

y = mx + b

-5 = -3(2) + b

-5 = -6 + b

1 = b

Then, plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b again:

y = -3x + 1 will be the equation of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

Note how this drawing  is symmetrical about a horizontal line drawn halfway between AB and CD and passing through the origin.

Line AB has been subdivided into two equal pieces of length 15, so the length of AB is twice 15, or 30.  Due to the symmetry shown, line CD has the same length:  30.

First you create a proportion (30/100=x/120). After you solve this, next you subtract this answer from 120. Then create a proportion for 40% (40/100=x/120). Then add this number to the first answer you got when you subtracted the answer from your first proportion from 120.
