Step-by-step explanation:

maybe this is not the full expression, as you wrote the line equation in a funny way.

I understand the following :

the line is

y = (-2/5)×x - 7

perpendicular means crossing at a right angle (90 degrees).

the slope of the original line is -2/5.

as in every line equation, the slope is the factor of x. and it expresses the ratio y/x indicating the amount of units y is changing, when x changes a certain amount of units (e.g. when going from one point on the line to another).

the perpendicular slope turns the original y/x ratio upside-down, and also flips the sign.

so, it is 5/2.

the equation for the perpendicular line looks like

y = (5/2)×x + b

now what is b ?

for this we use the specified point on the line : (4, -1)

and we put these values as x and y into the equation :

-1 = (5/2)×4 + b = 5×2 + b = 10 + b

b = -11

and so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (5/2)×x - 11

Answer:

The solution of system of equation is (-2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation are

Equation 1 : 2x+y=(-4)

Equation 2 : y+ $\frac{1}{2}$ x=(-1)

To plot the equation of line, we need at least two points

For Equation 1 : 2x+y=(-4)

Let x=0

2x+y=(-4)

2(0)+y=(-4)

y=(-4)

Let x=1

2x+y=(-4)

2(1)+y=(-4)

y=(-6)

Therefore,

The required points for equation is (0,-4) and (1,-6)

For Equation 2 : y+ $\frac{1}{2}$ x=(-1)

Let x=0

y+ $\frac{1}{2}$ x=(-1)

y+ $\frac{1}{2}$ (0)=(-1)

y=(-1)

Let x=2

y+ $\frac{1}{2}$ x=(-1)

y+ $\frac{1}{2}$ (2)=(-1)

y=(-2)

The required points for equation is (0,-1) and (2,-2)

Now, plot the graph using this points

From the graph,

The red line is equation 1 and blue line is equation 2

Since. The point of intersection is solution of system of equations

The solution of system of equation is (-2,0)

Two digits of the 5-digit number A = 74*9* are missing. Fill in the missing digits so that the number obtained is the smallest p

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

A = 74295.

Step-by-step explanation:

74*9*

- the last number must be a 0 or a 5.

So we try 74090/45 - not an integer

74095/45 = No

74190/45 No

74195/45 No

74295 / 45 = 1651 So that's it,

-10ab+2ab^2-9ab+7 what is the simplest form

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

-19ab + 2ab^2 +7

Step-by-step explanation:

all you do is combine the like terms. and the omly like terms are -10ab and -9ab. 2ab^2 is not one of the like terms simply because of that ^2.

6k²+16k=0<br> x²-5x= 0<br> ANSWer these noeww!

pentagon [3]

Answer:

1) k = (-8)/5

2) x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$6 {k}^{2} + 16k = 0$

$= > 2k(3k + 8) = 0$

$= > 3k + 8 = \frac{0}{2k} = 0$

$= > 3k = - 8$

$= > k = \frac{ - 8}{3}$

${x}^{2} - 5x = 0$

$= > x(x - 5) = 0$

$= > x - 5 = \frac{0}{x} = 0$

$= > x = 5$
