Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b
<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8
The slope of line A is -5/8.
If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then
slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5
So like B has the equation
y = (8/5)x + b
If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6
So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6
m = 8/5 and b = -6
so
m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5
So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

Answer:
C. 81
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you replace the xs with 1/2
(√2•1/2+3)/(6•1/2-5)
Then you solve the multiplications
2•1/2=1
6•1/2=3
Now write them in
(√1+3)/(3-5)
Simplify
(√4)(-2)
Root of 4 equals to
2/-2
And the answer is -1
Answer 17:
Replace x with 8
1/2•8^2-(1/4•8+3)
Solve parenthesis, multiplication first
1/2•8^2-(2+3)
1/2•8^2-(5)
1/2•8^2-5
Solve the 8^2 and the 1/2
1/2•64-5
32-5
The answer is 17
