Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

move x to the right making the equation 5y=-9x-1 then divide both sides by 5 to get y= -9/5x-1/5. the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope from the og eq. so the slope of the new line is 5/9x and the y-intercept stays the same so the equation should be y=5/9x-1/5

andriy [413]

We are given that there are 11 animals with a total of 34 legs.

Let G = number of Goats, and D = number of Ducks

then G + D = 11; solving for G, we get G = 11 - D

then, 4G + 2D = 34

substituting the value for G, we get 4(11 - D) + 2D = 34

expanding, we get 44 - 4D + 2D = 34

solving, we get D = 5. Therefore, G = 6

Proof: (5 x 2) + (6 x 4) = 34
