Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=(-1/5)x+9 and passes through the point (-2,-2)

y = 5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that if two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of one another.  Thus, given y = (-1/5)x + 9, the slope of any perpendicular is

           -1

m = = 5

        (-1/5)

Starting out with the slope-intercept equation y = mx + b, we get:

-2 = 5(-2) + C, or C = 8

Thus, the desired equation is

y = 5x + 8

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
