Solve -40=5x a -5 b -8 c -35 d -200

5x-8=40

Step-by-step explanation:

5*8=40 so all you need to do is make the eight negative to make it -40

X=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-40=5x

5x=-40

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-40}{5}

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
