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
Okay, let's add the two x values.
10x + 75 = 5x = 110
15x + 75 = 110
Now let's minus 75 from each side.
15x = 35
Now let's divide each side by 15.
x = 2.333333333
I just did one of these. I guessed that normal form is
Here' that's
Choice b
For the equation, the rate of change would be four.
Now looking at the graph, look at each point of the line that hits perfectly on a grid. Count up four, over two. The rate of change for the graph would be 4/2, or 2. Hope this helps!
