Answer:

The equation of the line L is $x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The line y=7

Is a horizontal line (parallel line to the x-axis)

The slope of a horizontal line is equal to zero

A line L perpendicular to the given line must be a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope of the line L is undefined

The line L passes through the point (2,-5)

therefore

The equation of the line L will be equal to the x-coordinate of the given point

$x=2$

Use the substitution method to solve the following system of equations: 3x + 5y = 3 x + 2y = 0 (1 point) (1, 1) (6, −3) (6, 1) (

PtichkaEL [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

$3x+5y=3$

$x+2y=0$

Take the second equation and subtract 2y to both sides.

$(x+2y)-2y=0-2y$

$x=-2y$

Substitute x into the first equation and simplify.

$3x+5y=3$

$3(-2y)+5y=3$

$-6y+5y=3$

$-y=3$

Invert.

$y=-3$

Substitute Y into your second equation.

$x+2y=0$

$x+2(-3)=0$

$x-6=0$

Add -6 to both sides.

$(x-6)+6=0+6$

$x=6$

(6, -3)

lesya692 [45]

If 1 of ur factors is 9...and the sum of ur factors is 13....then ur other factor is (13 - 9) = 4

so u have 2 factors, 9 and 4, and u r the product, then u r (9 * 4) = 36 <==

First of all, you surely do have a lot of incorrect grammar in your statement. I can't understand a word that you are asking.
