Answer:
y = -5/3 * x - 40/3
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope.
Your equation should be:
-5y = -3x +6
Divide all parts by -5.
y = 3/5x - 6/5
Since the perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope, the slope will be -5/3.
Now you must make an equation in point-slope form. This is an example of that form. You will need at least one point to make this equation work. In this case we have (-8,0).
In put the y and x coordinates like this:
y - 0 = -5/3(x - (-8)
Start solving the equation.
y - 0 = -5/3(x + 8)
y - 0 = -5/3 * x - 40/3
y = -5/3 * x - 40/3
This is your equation.
y = -5/3 * x - 40/3
(You can make it -5/3x in your answer but it looks weird online. You may think that it is -5 divided by 3 times x, but it actually is 5/3 times x. That's why I wrote it as y = -5/3 * x - 40/3)

Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 3
6x + 3y = -3
the substitution method means you plug one equation into the next, because the first equation gives us a solution for y we can go ahead and plug that into y of the second equation
6x + 3(-2x + 3) = -3
6x - 6x + 9 = -3
9 = -3
which is false meaning that there are no solutions and the lines don't touch at any point
Answer: a= -18/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 2x3 = -12
2a + 6 = -12
2a + 6 - 6 = -12 - 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides)
2a = -18 (Divide 2 by both sides)
a= -18/2
