Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be rewritten to ...
8x = 13n +4 . . . . for some integers x and n
x = (13n +4)/8
For x to be an integer, 13n must be an odd multiple of 4. Since 13 is an odd number, n=4 will do.
x = (13·4 +4)/8 = 56/8
x = 7
__
The graph shows a "trial and error" method of solution. Only values of x less than 13 need to be examined.
Answer:
y = -3x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the equation for the given line by 2, it will be in slope-intercept form:
y = (1/3)x +7
This tells you its slope is 1/3. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of this: -1/(1/3) = -3. The point-slope form of the equation for the perpendicular line can be written as ...
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
Your line is ...
y = -3(x -(-2)) +8
y = -3x +2
