In order to solve this kind of problem, we must find the difference between two negative numbers describing elevation. Although when you have 2 negative numbers in a subtraction-elevation problem, the elevation difference won't be negative... It would be positive. -56 - (-14) would usually equal -42 feet but that would just describe a regular negative subtraction problem, so it becomes 42 feet. This answer is positive since it describe the distance between these integers.
Trial and error on this one try each pair till you find negative slopes
C and D
Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.
-2x+3y=-6 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6 Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3
The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.
y=mx+b Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b Combine like terms
-2=-9+b Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b
The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.
The matrix is not properly formatted.
However, I'm able to rearrange the question as:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\-2&3&5|3\\3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%7C-1%5C%5C-2%263%265%7C3%5C%5C3%262%264%7C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

Please note that the above may not reflect the original question. However, you should be able to implement my steps in your question.
Answer:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%7C-1%5C%5C0%265%267%7C1%5C%5C0%26-1%261%7C4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first operation:
This means that the new second row (R2) is derived by:
Multiplying the first row (R1) by 2; add this to the second row
The row 1 elements are:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%7C-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Multiply by 2
![2 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%2A%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%7C-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%262%7C-2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Add to row 2 elements are: ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%263%265%7C3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%262%7C-2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2B%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%263%265%7C3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

The second operation:
This means that the new third row (R3) is derived by:
Multiplying the first row (R1) by -3; add this to the third row
The row 1 elements are:
Multiply by -3
![-3 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-3%20%2A%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%7C-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-3%26-3%26-3%7C3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Add to row 2 elements are: ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D3%262%264%7C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
