Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 5 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A line perpendicular to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation

x = c

Where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (2, 7) with an x- coordinate of 2, thus

x = 2 ← is the equation of the perpendicular line

What is the solution for the systems of equations

AlekseyPX

x=1, y=2

Solve the following system:
{y = 5 - 3 x5 x - 4 y = -3
Substitute y = 5 - 3 x into the second equation:
{y = 5 - 3 x5 x - 4 (5 - 3 x) = -3

5 x - 4 (5 - 3 x) = (12 x - 20) + 5 x = 17 x - 20:{y = 5 - 3 x17 x - 20 = -3

In the second equation, look to solve for x:{y = 5 - 3 x17 x - 20 = -3

Add 20 to both sides:{y = 5 - 3 x17 x = 17

Divide both sides by 17:{y = 5 - 3 xx = 1

Substitute x = 1 into the first equation:{y = 2x = 1
