Find an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of 14x-7y=4 that passes through the point at (2,-9)

If it is perpendicular to the line 14x-7y=4, then we know our line has the opposite and inverse slope of that line. Solving for y of the first line, we get y=2x-(4/7). All we care about is the coefficient of the x term, because that will give us our slope. The slope of the first line is 2, so the slope of out line is the opposite and inverse of that slope, which -(1/2).

Plugging into our slope- point formula, where y1=(-9), x1=2, and m=(-1/2), then:

y-(-9)=(-1/2)(x-2)
y+9=(-1/2)x+1
y=(-1/2)x-8

Hope this helps!

First mark a point at 4 on the y axis
Then because the slope is 3 you are going to rise three places up and one place to the right.
Use a ruler to connect the dots.
Hope this helps.

Solve the system using substitution:<br> y = -6x + 7<br><br> 3x – 2y = 16<br><br> helppp
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

x=-6 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  

 

 [2]    y = -x - 7

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

  [1]    3x - 2•(-x -7) = -16

  [1]    5x = -30

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

  [1]    5x = - 30  

  [1]    x = - 6  

// By now we know this much :

   x = -6

   y = -x-7

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y  

   y = -(-6)-7 = -1  

Solution :

{x,y} = {-6,-1}
