Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

For two lines to be perpendicular, the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line. The equation of the given line is

(5x-5y)/4= (4x-4)/2

Cross multiplying

2(5x - 5y) = 4(4x - 4)

10x - 10y = 16x - 16

10y = - 6x + 16

y = -6x/10 + 16/10

Comparing with the slope intercept form,

Slope, m = - 6/10

This means that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it is 10/6

The given points are (10,7)

To determine c,

We will substitute m = 10/6, y = 7 and x = 10 into the equation, y = mx + c. It becomes

7 = 10/6 × 10 + c

7 = 100/6 + c

7 = 50/3 + c

c = 7 - 50/3

c = - 29/3

The equation becomes

y = 10x/6 - 29/3

puteri [66]

Answer:

x= 12 and y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would line up the equations so the x's and y's are on top of each other. Then you would multiply x+y=14 by 3 to give you 3x+3y=42. After that you subtract 2x-3y=30 and 3x+3y=42 to give you an answer of x=12. After that, you plug in x with 12 in the equation x+y=14. You subtract 12 from both sides to get an answer of 2. So ur solution is (12,2)
