y=1/5x+5 with the point (-6, 0)

The line perpendicular to this line will have a slope that's the negative reciprocal of this one. So if the slope here is 1/5 (based on y=mx+b, where m is the slope), then the perpendicular slope would be -5/1.

So now that you have the point and the slope, use the point-slope formula.
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
m = -5
(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 0)

y - 0 = -5(x + 6)
y = -5x - 30

y = -5x - 30 is the line perpendicular to y=1/5x+5.

You need to flip the slope (or number in front of the x) and sign of it to do the perpendicular part. This should give you: y=-5x+b. Now put the -6 in for the x, and the 0 in for the y. Simply solve for an answer of -30=b. Your final answer is: y=-5x-30

An isosceles triangle has an area of 32 cm2, and the angle between the two equal sides is 5π/6. Find the length of the two equal

taurus [48]

The area of a triangle can be determined by knowing 2 sides and their included angle of a certain triangle. Since both sides are equal, then they would just be denoted by a squared entity. This is done as follows:

A = x² sin∅
32 = x² sin (5*pi/6)

Make sure your calculator is in rad form.

32 = x² (1/2)
x = 8

Thus, each side is 8 cm.

Create the equation of a line that perpendicular to 2y=14+2/3x and passes through the point (-2,8).

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

y = - 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2y = 14 + $\frac{2}{3}$ x into this form
