Mathematics

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

What is the solution to the equation 1.25 + r = 4? r = 2.75 r = 3.75 r = 5.25 r = 5.75
eimsori [14]

Answer:

r = 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 + r = 4

Subtract 1.25 on both sides.

1.25 + r - 1.25 = 4 - 1.25

r = 4 - 1.25

r = 2.75

The solution to the equation is r = 2.75.
