Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-6,4) that is perpendicular to the line 5x+3y=5

9514 1404 393

  3x -5y = -38

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the perpendicular line can be formed by swapping the coefficients of x and y in the given equation, negating one of them. The new constant will be the one that lets the given point satisfy the equation.

  given: 5x +3y = 5

  perpendicular: 3x -5y = constant

At the given point, the constant is ...

  3(-6) -5(4) = -18 -20 = -38

So, the desired equation is ...

  3x -5y = -38

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
