Answer:

y=-5x-58

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

Anyways we need to find the slope of the line going through (10,6) and (5,5).

To find the slope, we are going to line up the points vertically and subtract vertically, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference. Like so:

 (  10   ,   6)

- (   5   ,   5)

------------------

    5         1

So the slope of the line through (10,6) and (5,5) is 1/5.

The slope of a line that is perpendicular will be the opposite reciprocal of 1/5.

The opposite reciprocal of 1/5 is -5.

The line we are looking for is y=-5x+b where we need to find the y-intercept b.

y=-5x+b goes through (-10,-8)

So we can use (x,y)=(-10,-8) to find b in y=-5x+b.

y=-5x+b with (x,y)=(-10,-8)

-8=-5(-10)+b

-8=50+b

Subtract 50 on both sides:

-8-50=b

-58=b

So the equation is y=-5x-58

How many yards<br> carpeting is needed to cover a 60 feet length room and 40 feet width ​
Bad White [126]

Answer:

266 \frac{2}{3} yards

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

First, convert the dimensions of the room from feet to yards. Remember, the conversion rate between feet and yards is, 3feet=1yard. Next, find the area of the room by multiplying the length by the width.

2. Convert the unit of measurement

The measurement unit is given in feet, one must convert it into yards. The conversion rate between yards and feet is, 3feet=1yard.

60feet=20yards\\\\40feet=13\frac{1}{3}yards

3. Find the area of the room

Now multiply the length by the width to find the area of the room.

20yards*13\frac{1}{3}yrads\\\\= 20 * \frac{40}{3}\\\\=\frac{800}{3}\\\\= 266\frac{2}{3}_{.}yards^{2}
