Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Form this quotient, representing the number by n: n / (-8) = 5/8.

Solve this equation for n by multiplying both sides by 8: -n = 5. Then n = -5

A house is built on coordinates (2,9). There is a water pipeline that runs along the line y = 2 3 x – 1. What is the approximate

Basile [38]

Answer:

7.21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest length needed to connect the house to the existing pipeline is the perpendicular distance between the location of the house (2,9) and the line y = 2/3x - 1.

The perpendicular distance (d) between a point ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and the line Ax + By + C = 0 is given as:
