Answer:

y = -1/5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines, neither of which is vertical, is always -1.

Given the linear equation, y = 5x + 2, and the point (-10, 3):

Since the slope of the original linear equation is 5, then it means that the slope of the perpendicular line must be -1/5 (because if you multiply -1/5 by 5, the result is -1).

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/5.

Next, we'll use the slope of the perpendicular line and the coorindates of the given point, (-10, 3). Let (x1, y1) = (-10, 3)

We'll plug these values into the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -1/5[x - (-10)]

y - 3 = -1/5(x + 10)

y - 3 = -1/5x - 2

Add 3 on both sides to isolate the y:

y - 3 + 3 = -1/5x - 2 + 3

y = -1/5x + 1

Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 5x + 2 is:

y = -1/5x + 1

Answer:

I think it's 2.56

you convert the 8 percent to a decimal and then you times it to 3.20

3.20×.8=2.56 (it's wrong)

What is a true statement about negative exponents?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what $x^{-2}$ is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So $x^{-2}$ becomes $\frac{1}{x^{2}}$ .

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So $a^{3}$ would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase $a^{3}$ to $a^{5}$ , you would have to multiply a with $a^{3}$ two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease $a^{5}$ to $a^{2}$ , you would have to divide $a^{5}$ by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: $\frac{1}{a^{3}}$ means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.

the chumas family is driving from north carolina to california on vacation. They drive 330 in 5.5 hours How many hours would it

spin [16.1K]

An easy way is to work out their speed. Speed = distance/time.

First part: Speed = 330/5.5 = 60 mph

Finally, the second part: time = distance / speed

So time = 720/60 = 12 hours
