If the gradient of a line is m, the gradient of a line perpendicular to it (m') is such that mm' = -1, that is:
m' = -1/m
So for:
y = -x - 5
m = -1, so the gradient of a perpendicular line is:
m' = -1/-1 = 1
So a general line perpendicular to y = -x - 5 would be:
y = x + c
A specific line perpendicular to y = -x - 5 at point (xo, -xo-5) on the line is:
y - (-xo-5) = 1(x - xo)
⇒ y = x - 2xo - 5

1,565 = x5 1,5651/5 = (x5)1/5 1,5651/5 = x5/5 1,5651/5 = x 4.3541 = x
11x5=55 !
Assuming that the question is find x in x5=1610; the answer is 4.378901
5 times 5 equals 25.
