Write a linear equation that is perpendicular to y=7x-10 and passes through the point (-8,-9) in point slope form

y+9=-1/7(x+8)

y+9=-1/7x-8/7

y=-1/7x-55/7

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
