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 negative reciprocal

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

What is the measure of the missing angle?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The missing angle measures also 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that If the transversal cuts across parallel lines (apparently, this particular case) then those alternate exterior angles have the same measure (.∠ 110° and ∠?) So in the figure given, the two alternate exterior angles measure the same.

The missing angle measures also 110°

Drag numbers to write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form. Numbers may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

y = -4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the equation of the line that passes through the given points

The general form is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

To find the slope, we use the slope formula

this is ;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (0,5)

(x2,y2) = (2,-3)

m = (-3-5)/(2-0) = -8/2 = -4

To get the y-intercept we simply substitute one of the points

But we know that the y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0

From the point we can see (0,5) which means that the y-intercept is 5

so the equation of the line is;

y = -4x + 5

What is the value of 5^3i^9

Tema [17]

Answer:

5^(3)i^(9)= five cubes times i to the power of 9=125i

Step-by-step explanation:

Raise 5 to the power of 3

rewrite i9 as (i^4)2^i

so, you get 125((i^4)^2i)

i^4=1

125(1^2i)

125i
