Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate -3y by subtracting x from both sides

-3y = -18 - x

Divide everything by -3

y = 6 + 1/3x

Slope is 1/3, and perpendicular lines have the reverse reciprocal slope, so our slope is -3

Answer:

It has no perfect square factors, unless you count 1 = 1^2. That's sort of a degenerate case we don't usually count, since every integer has that factor. We would usually say that 1290 is a square-free integer. Hope this helps!!

X + 3y = −4 x + 5y = −6

lesya [120]

For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

$x + 3y = -4\\x + 5y = -6$

We clear x of both equations:

$x = -4-3y\\x = -6-5y$

We match:

$-4-3y = -6-5y\\-3y + 5y = -6 + 4\\2y = -2\\y = \frac {-2} {2}\\y = -1$

We find the value of "x":

$x = -4-3 (-1)\\x = -4 + 3\\x = -1$

Thus, the solution of the system is:

$(x, y): (- 1, -1)$

Answer:

$(x, y): (- 1, -1)$
