So what you would need to add to get -6 is -5-1 then your answer would be -6 hope this helps!
The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1
1
cm
Its height after 3
3
years = 10
10
meters 3
3
cm
Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10
meters 6
6
cm
Its height after x
x
years = 10
10
meters x
x
cm
Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.

<h2>
Answer: y = ⁵/₂ x - 13 OR y + 8 =
⁵/₂ x - 5 </h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<u>Find the slope of the perpendicular line</u>
When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are <em>negative-reciprocal</em>s of each other.
⇒ if the slope of this line = - ²/₅
then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = ⁵/₂
<u>Determine the equation</u>
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:
⇒ y - (-8) = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)
∴ y + 8 = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)
We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:
since y + 8 = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)
y = ⁵/₂ x - 13
