Adding the equations to eliminate p would be the correct step because when you add the equations together, the variable p would cancel out and be eliminated leaving you with 2w=35 you can then solve for the value of w which you can then input to find the value of p, allowing you to solve for the values of both p and w.
Ok divide the numerator by the denomitator and ur answe wil be 55.5
here the equation of path is -2x-7=y
let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b
so slope m=-2
now new path is perpendicular to this path.
product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1
so slope of new path is 1/2
now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2
using y=mx+b to get value of b
-3=1/2(-2) +b
b=-2
plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as
y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path
