Answer:

Slope of the line y = x + 10 is 1. So, any straight line perpendicular to this must be having slope of (-1).

Let, the line be y = - x + b and it passes through (15, -5).

So, 15 = 5 + b

b = 10.

So, equation of that line: y = -x + 10

Or, x + y = 10.

Y-intercept of the line = 10 units.

Answer:

y= -x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line is

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The given equation is

y= x+10, where m =1 is the slope and b=10 is the y-intercept

To know: Perpendicular lines have their slope <u>negative reciprocal </u>

y = - x+b is the line ⊥to the given line that has the slope m= -1

To find the y-intercept use the given point (15, -5)

    -5 = -15 +b

-5+15 = b

    10 = b

So the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y= x+10 and passes through the point (15,-5) is y= -x +10

How do I solve #16? Do I just measure using a protractor or do calculations??
sergejj [24]
For #16, it can be assume that the two angles are linear, so set them both equal to 90 (9x+x-10=90) and solve for x. Once you have x, plug it into the equations to find the measure of both angles. If both your final answers are added, they should equal 180. If not, go back and try to find where you messed up.
