It would be 20 so you had it right
Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b
<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8
The slope of line A is -5/8.
If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then
slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5
So like B has the equation
y = (8/5)x + b
If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6
So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6
m = 8/5 and b = -6
so
m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5
So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To define the perpendicular line we need to first know the slope of the reference line graphed.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) we have points (0,5) and (2,1)
m=(1-5)/(2-0)
m=-4/2
m=-2
For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must satisfy
m1m2=-1, we have a line with a slope of -2 so
-2m=-1
m=1/2, so our perpendicular line is so far
y=x/2+b, it must have point (3,2) so we can solve for b
2=3/2+b
b=1/2, so the swimmer will travel along the line
y=x/2+1/2
I don't understand or see for the matter the question what is it
Hey!

LCD stands for Lowest Common Denominator.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
So let's say we have the equation 1/9 * 16/27
We want to find the LCD of both fractions. To find the LCD of both fractions find a the lowest common denominator in both fractions.
In this equation the lowest common denominator is 27 because 9 can go in 27 and 27 can go into itself. Se basically 27 is the lowest possibly common denominator both fractions can get to.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck ;)
