Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation. (-5,8); y=1/5x-3

y = –5x – 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we shall determine the slope of the equation y = 1/5x – 3.

The slope of the equation y = 1/5x – 3 can be obtained by comparing the equation with y = mx + c.

This is illustrated below:

y = 1/5x – 3

y = mx + c

Thus, the slope (m) of equation

y = 1/5x – 3 is 1/5

Next, we shall determine the slope of the line perpendicular to the equation as follow:

For perpendicular lines, their slope (m1 and m2) are related as follow:

m1 × m2 = –1

m1 = 1/5

1/5 × m2 = –1

m2/5 = –1

Cross multiply

m2 = 5 × –1

m2 = –5

Therefore, the slope of the line is –5.

Finally, we shall determine the equation of the line as follow:

Coordinate = (–5, 8)

x1 coordinate = –5

y1 coordinate = 8

Slope (m) = –5

y – y1 = m(x –x1)

y – 8 = –5(x – (–5))

y – 8 = –5(x + 5)

y – 8 = –5x – 25

Rearrange

y = –5x – 25 + 8

y = –5x – 17

Therefore, the equation is y = –5x – 17.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.

step-by-step explanation: just trying to get points sorry : (

h * s * a

h = history teacher

s = science teacher

a =   art teacher.

i see no data table, but just multiply the number of history teachers, science teachers, and art teachers.
