a line perpendicular to y=-1/5x+1 and intersects the point (-5,1) what is the equation of this perpendicular line

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/5x + 1

the slope here is -1/5.....a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular slope will have to be 5.....(because I flipped -1/5, making it -5/1, then I switched the sign...making it 5/1 or just 5)

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 5

(-5,1)...x = -5 and y = 1

now we sub and find b, the y int

1 = 5(-5) + b

1 = - 25 + b

1 + 25 = b

26 = b

so ur equation for the perpendicular line is : y = 5x + 26

Describe a sequence of transformations that can be performed to polygon ABCDE to prove that it is similar to polygon FGHIJ
maxonik [38]

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCDE go through dilation over center (6 , -2) with factor of 1/2 to FGHIJ

AB // FG slope: -2 , √20:√5 = 2: 1

BC // GH // X axis 8:4 = 2:1

CD // HI, slope= 1 , √8:√2 = 2:1

DE // IJ // x axis, 4:2 = 2:1

EA // JF // y axis, 2:1

If the 6th term of an arithmetic progres- sion is 11 and the first term is 1, find the common difference.​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic progression with first term a and common difference d has the following first 6 terms:

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, a + 5d

We are given a = 1 and a + 5d = 11.

1 + 5d = 11

5d = 10

d = 2

Answer: The common difference is 2.
