-3 • (5x + 2y = 7)
-15x - 6y = -21
-2x + 6y = 9
__________
-17x = -12
x = 12/17
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 3.47
y = 1.735
Answer:
y = -7/3x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the slope of the perpendicular line
Do this by taking the negative inverse of the first line
m = -7/3
Step 2: Find <em>b</em>
y = mx + b
y = -7/3x + b
3 = -7/3(3) + b
3 = -7 + b
b = 10
You should get y = -7/3x + 10 as your final answer.
