Write the equation of the line through the given point. use? slope-intercept form. (-8,8) perpendicular to y= -3/5x+6

The equation would be y = 5/3x + 64/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, you need to locate the slope of the first equation. Since the slope is the coefficient of x, we know it to be -3/5. Now, the perpendicular slope is the opposite and reciprocal of that, which makes the new slope 5/3.

Now that we have this, we can use the point and the slope in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 5/3(x + 8)

y - 8 = 5/3x + 40/3

y = 5/3x + 64/3

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
