Answer:
5y = -2x + 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
y = 
Coordinate = (-7,9)
Unknown:
Equation of the line perpendicular = ?
Solution:
The slope - intercept format of a line is given as;
y = mx + c
where y and x are the coordinates
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
y = 
From the given equation; slope is 
A line perpendicular will have a slope that is negative and the inverse of this;
slope of perpendicular line = 
Since y= 9 and x = -7;
So;
9 =
+ C
9 =
+ C
C = 9 -
= 
Now,
y =
x + 
mulitply through by 5;
5y = -2x + 31
Total: 73
dogs: x
cats: 2x+10
2x+10+x=73
3x+10=73
3x=63
x=21
dogs: x
dogs: 21
cats: 2x+10
cats: 52
Check answer:
cats+dogs=73
52+21=73
There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
