Answer:

y = -1/5 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x - 4

m = 5

Slope of perpendicular = -1/5

Equation of perpendicular:

y = mx + b

y = -1/5 x + b

Use point (15, -1) for x and y, and solve for b.

-1 = -1/5(15) + b

-1 = -3 + b

b = 2

Equation of perpendicular:

y = -1/5 x + 2

topjm [15]
Let the number of deluxe that Pacific has be x
the number that Caribbean has will be (x+18)
the number that Mediterranean has will be (3x-25)
total b=number of deluxe in the 3 ships will be:
x+(x+18)+(3x-25)
5x-7=928
5x=928+7
x=935/5
x=187
Hence the Pacific has 187, Caribbean has 187+18=205, Mediterranean has (3*187-25)
