let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmmm what is the slope of line S anyway?

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-7}{6-2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{4}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{3}}}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3 and runs through (5,2)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-5)\implies y-2=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{10}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{10}{3}+2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{4}{3}

Furkat [3]

Answer:

  Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation M is equation P multiplied by 3. The equations are dependent, so any solution of one of them is also a solution of the other. There are an infinite number of (x, y) pairs that will satisfy either (both) equation(s).
