If a = 4 and 5a(2b – 3a) = 40, what is the value of b? a. 6

b. 7

c. 10

d. 12

b=7

Step-by-step explanation:

5a(2b – 3a) = 40

Let a=4

5*4(2b-3*4) = 40

20(2b-12) = 40

Divide each side by 20

20/20 (2b-12) = 40/20

2b-12 =2

Add 12 to each side

2b-12+12 = 2+12

2b = 14

Divide by 2

2b/2 = 14/2

b = 7

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
