<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to rearrange the equation to make it y = mx + c

4x - y = 3

y + 3 = 4x

y = 4x -3

So the slope of the line is 4.

The slope of a line perpendicular to an equation is:

\frac{-1}{gradient}

So the slope of the perpendicular line is:

\frac{-1}{4} = -0.25

Now to find the equation of a line you can use the following equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where y₁ is the y-coordinate, x₁ is the x-coordinate and m is the gradient. Plug the values in:

y₁ = 6

x₁ = -5

m = \frac{-1}{4}

y - 6 = \frac{-1}{4}(x - - 5)

To get rid of the fraction we need to multiply the whole equation by 4:

4y - 24 = -1(x - - 5)

The two negatives cancel out:

4y - 24 = -1(x + 5)

Multiply the brackets out:

4y - 24 = -x + 5

Now, to rearrange the formula back into y = mx + c

Move the -24 over to the other side making it a +24:

4y = 2x + 5 + 24

4y = 2x + 29

Divide everything by 4:

y = \frac{2}{4}x + \frac{29}{4}

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}


<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Answer: x=-1

<u>Add 8x to both sides</u>

<u></u>6x+1+8x=-8x-13+8x\\14x+1=-13<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Subtract 1 from both sides</u>

<u></u>14x+1-1=−13-1\\14x=-14<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Divide both sides by 14</u>

<u></u>14x/14=-14/14\\x=-1<u></u>
