The answer is that the equation y=5x+31 is perpendicular to the equation y=-1/5x+3 and that equation passes through (-5,6) also y=5x+31 is in y=mx+b form already y=mx+b
Part A: X=(35-(100*0.10))/5 35= 5X+(100*0.10) Where X is the number of dogs he walked.
Part B: To solve the equation just simplify it by using inverse operations. It should give you 5 dogs walked. The algebraic property justifying this is inverse operations.
