Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In going from (5, 5) to (10, 8), x (the run) increases by 5 and y (the rise) increases by 3.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting the first two points is m = 3/5.

In going from (1, 13) to (4, 8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 5.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting the first two points is m = -5/3

Because these results are negative reciprocals of one another, the two lines are PERPENDICULAR to one another.

6x + y = -39 <br> 3x + 2y = -15 <br><br> elimination using multiplication
vlabodo [156]
Multiply the second equation by 2 so that its 
6x+4y=-30
then subtract 
6x+y=-39
6x+4y=-30
= -3y=-69
divide by -3 to isolate the y
then you get y=23
substitute the y value back into one of the equations to solve for x.
6x+23=-31
solve like you always do and you'll get your x
Congratulations, you solved a problem.
