Answer:  y = -(9/5)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation in standard form:  y = (5/9)x+(8/9).  [y=mx+b]

A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the original slope (5/9), which would make it -(9/5).  The y-intercept would also change, but we don't know the value, yet.  For now, we'll use "b" for the y-intercept.  This results in a perpendicular line:

y = -(9/5)x + b

We can calculate b, the y-intercept, by using the point (-5,8) and solving for b.

8 = -(9/5)*(-5) + b

8 = (9) + b

b = -1

The line perpendicular to 5x−9y=−8 that passes through the point ​(−5​,8​) is

y = -(9/5)x - 1

What is the value of -3⁶ +(-4+7)(2)?<br>​
svp [43]

-3^6 = -729

-729 +(-4+7)(2)

-729 +(3)(2)

-729 + 6

-723

<em>hope it helps :)</em>

(ps: the result of -3^6 is not +729, the expression that would give this result is (-3)^6
