Answer:

$y = -\frac53x + 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A line that is perpendicular to another has an opposite-reciprocal slope.

Meaning:

Flip the sign (+/-)
Flip the fraction

The slope perpendicular to 3/5 would be -5/3.

We can solve for the y-intercept by plugging in the x and y values given from the coordinate into the equation with out new slope.

<h3 /><h3>Solve for B</h3>

$y = -\frac53x + b$
$-5 = -\frac53(15) + b$
$-5 = -25 + b$
$20 = b$

The y-intercept of the new line is 20.

The equation is $y = -\frac53x + 20$

What is the principal square root of -4

devlian [24]

Answer:

The principal square root of -4 is 2i.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{-4}$ = 2i

We have the following steps to get the answer:

Applying radical rule $\sqrt{-a} =\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{a}$

We get $\sqrt{-4} =\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{4}$

As per imaginary rule we know that $\sqrt{-1}=i$

= $\sqrt{4} i$

Now $\sqrt{4} =2$

Hence, the answer is 2i.
