Answer:

y = -1/4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Halfway through would be:

(10 + 6 / 2, -13 + 3 / 2) --> (8, -5)

The slope of the line that goes through (10, 3) and (6, -13) is -13 - 3 / 6 - 10 = -16 / -4 = 4.

That means the slope of the line that is perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal of 4, which is -1/4.

Put this in point slope form with slope = -1/4 and point = (8, -5):

y + 5 = -1/4(x - 8)

y + 5 = -1/4x + 2

y = -1/4x - 3

When a number is added to 1/5 of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is n +1/5 n = 24. What is the v

Lady_Fox [76]

For this case we must find the value of n of the following equation:

$n + \frac {1} {5} n = 24$

Taking common factor "n" from the left side of the equation we have:

$n (1+ \frac {1} {5}) = 24\\n \frac {6} {5} = 24$

Multiplying by 5 on both sides of the equation:

$6n = 120$

Dividing between 6 on both sides of the equation:

$n = 20$

Thus, the value of n is 20.

Answer:

$n = 20$

25m + 100 - 24m - 75 = 68.

Maksim231197 [3]

25m+100−24m−75=68

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25m+100−24m−75=68

25m+100+−24m+−75=68

(25m+−24m)+(100+−75)=68(Combine Like Terms)

m+25=68

Step 2: Subtract 25 from both sides.

m+25−25=68−25

m=43

Answer:

m=43
