Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -5/2x + 1 that passes through the point (-5, -5).

y = 2/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to know what the slope is. Being perpendicular to -5/2, the slope becomes 2/5.

Then, you substitute the slope and given point into the equation to find the y-intercept.

y = 2/5x + b

(-5) = 2/5(-5) + b

(-5) = (-2) + b

b = -3

So, the equation is

y = 2/5x - 3

y=2/5x−3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, you just convert it into point slope form with the new slope and points and then convert it back into slope intercept.

y+5=2/5(x+5)

y+5=2/5x+2

y=2/5x+2-5

y=2/5x−3.

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies

answer by jkismyhusbandbae:

a) how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.

  measure of length.   there are 12 inches in a foot, and 36 inches in a yard.   one inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters.

accuracy is how close something is to an actual answer but it is not exactly correct.
