1: multiple both sides by 2
Ex:-7n+10=-32
2: subtract 10 from both sides
Ex: -7n=-42
3:divide both sides by -7 to get n alone
Ex: n=6
Answer is 6 and the process is elimination!
Answer:
y = (1/3)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. That makes the slopes of perpendicular lines negative reciprocals. Since line p has slope -3, the slope of line t is 1/3. Also, line t passes through point (9, 2).
y = mx + b
m = slope
y = (1/3)x + b
Now we replace x and y with the x- and y-coordinates of the given point, respectively, and we solve for b.
2 = (1/3)(9) + b
2 = 3 + b
b = -1
Now we replace b with -1.
y = (1/3)x - 1
