Answer: y = -(9/5)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the equation in standard form: y = (5/9)x+(8/9). [y=mx+b]
A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the original slope (5/9), which would make it -(9/5). The y-intercept would also change, but we don't know the value, yet. For now, we'll use "b" for the y-intercept. This results in a perpendicular line:
y = -(9/5)x + b
We can calculate b, the y-intercept, by using the point (-5,8) and solving for b.
8 = -(9/5)*(-5) + b
8 = (9) + b
b = -1
The line perpendicular to 5x−9y=−8 that passes through the point (−5,8) is
y = -(9/5)x - 1
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by 7.
5s+8=28
Subtract 8 from both sides.
5s=20
Divide 5 from both sides,
s=4
Express Movers equation would be y= 25 + .8x
Smith equation would be y= 35 + .6x
if you went 14 miles with Movers, you would go 1 mile with Smith for the same price.
