Answer: y = -4/5x - 12

1. First find slope. Since you are trying to find a line perpendicular to y = 5/4x + 10, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of 5/4x.

slope = - 4/5x

2. plug in (-5,-8) and the slope of -4/5 to the point slope form equation
(y-y2) = slope (x-x2)

= y+8=-4/5(x+5)

3. solve and simply y+8=-4/5(x+5)

y = -4/5x - 12 is your answer

Write the equation for the line that passes through (2, -4) and is
Kryger [21]

Answer: y= x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicularity entails the slope of line a is -1 divided by the slope of line b

m1= (-1/m2)

From y=Mx +c

We compare with x-4y=7

y=(1/4)x-7/4

Meaning m2= 1/4

m1= -1/(1/4)= -1*4= -4

((y-y1)/(x-x1))= ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1))=m1

x1= 2, y1= -4

((y-(-4))/(x-2))= -4

((y+4)/(x-2))= -4

Cross multiply

y+4= -4(x-2)

y= x-2

Torrey has $20 to buy a birthday present for her that she does this to buy a CD for $18 the sales tax is 7% does she have enough
Effectus [21]
No, because she will go over by .57 cents. So she won't be able to buy the gift. You can find the answer by dividing 18 by 7 and adding that answer to 18 to get the amount total you owe including tax.
