Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 1 y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = 7
- Subtract x from both sides.
3y = -x + 7
- Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.
y = -1/3x + 7/3
- Plug the value of y into the other equation.
3x + 4(-1/3x + 7/3) = 11
3x - 4/3x + 28/3 = 11
- Add like terms.
5/3x + 28/3 = 11
5/3x = 5/3
x = 1
- Plug the value of x into the equation.
x + 3y = 7
(1) + 3y = 7
3y = 6
y = 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the general form of a linear equartion: y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
The equation of line v (y=9x+1) has a slope of 9. A perpendicular line with have a slope equal to the negative inverse of the reference line. So the line we want will have a slope of -(1/9). That gives us y = -(1/9)x + b. Any vale of b will produce a line that is perpendicular. But we want a line that goes through point (3,-2). All we need to do is find a value for b that will make that wish come true.
Use the point (3,-2) in y = -(1/9)x + b and solve for b:
y = -(1/9)x + b
-2 = -(1/9)*(3) + b
-2 = -(1/3) + b
b = - 1 2/3, or -(5/3)
The equation is y = -(1/9)x + - (5/3)
Dang this is too much to read i nearly understand the question
