1 answer:

8 0

2a + 3b = -1
3a + 5b = -2

3(2a + 3b = -1) --> 6a + 9b = -3
2(3a + 5b = -2) --> 6a + 10b = -4
- ___________
b = -1

2a + 3(-1) = -1
2a - 3 = -1
2a = 2
a = 1

2(1) + 3(-1) = -1 --> 2 - 3 = -1
3(1) + 5(-1) = -2 --> 3 - 5 = 2

Answer:
a = 1
b = -1

Hope this helps.

Two lines have equations y + m1x + c1 and y + m2x +c2, m1m2 = -1. Prove that the lines are perpendicular.

alexdok [17]

Y=mx+b
m=slope

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1

the slopes are

for $y=m_1x+c_1$ and $y=m_2x+c_2$ , the slope are $m_1 \space\ and \space\ m_2$
since their product is -1, the lines are perpendicular
