The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

x1,y1 are (2,5)

x2, y2 are (8,3)

so 3-5/8-2
-2/6=-1/3

Hope this helped!!

Answer:

Answer is option b)

Answer is given below with explanations.

Step-by-step explanation:

$a \: walking \: path \: is \: represented \: by \: \\ y = - 4x - 6 \\ 4x + y + 6 = 0 \\ given \: that \\ a \: new \: path \: will \: be \: built \: perpendicular \\ \: to \: \: the \: walking \: path \\ the \: equation \: of \: the \: line \: perpendicular \: to \\ 4x + y + 6 = 0 \: is \\ x - 4y + k = 0 \\ since \: it \: passes \: through \: ( - 4,10) \\ substitute \: x \: = - 4\: and \: y = 10 \: in \: required \: equation \\ - 4 - 4(10) + k = 0 \\ k = 44 \\ then \: the \: equation \: is \\ x - 4y + 44 = 0 \\ adding \: 4y \: on \: both \: sides \\ x + 44 = 4y \\ dividing \: by \: 4 \: on \: both \: sides \\ y = \frac{x}{4} + 11 \\ y = \frac{1}{4} x + 11 \\ so \: the \: answer \: is \: option \: b) \: \frac{1}{4} x + 11$

HAVE A NICE DAY!

This system of equations has an infinite number of solutions. Define the solutions algebraically, and allow z to represent all r

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

x = 12z + 1 and y = 10z - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations, we can use the substitution method

If we call

3x - 4y + 4z = 7 I

x - y - 2z = 2 II

2x - 3y + 6z = 5 III

Clearing II x = 2 + y + 2z

Now, replacing II in III

2(2 + y + 2z) - 3y +6z = 5

4 + 2y + 4z - 3y + 6z = 5

10z - y = 1 from here y = 10z - 1

Finally, replacing y in I

3x - 4(10z - 1) + 4z = 7

3x -40z + 4 + 4z = 7

3x - 36z = 3

3x = 36z + 3

x = 12z + 1
