Answer:
The solution is (3/8, -7/8).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = −5x + 1
y = 3x − 2
Since the 2 expressions in x are both equal to y :
−5x + 1 = 3x - 2
-5x - 3x = -2 - 1
-8x = -3
x = 3/8.
So y = 3x - 2
= 3(3/8) - 2
= 9/8 - 2 = -7/8.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Make equation into y = mx + b
Add 3y to both sides
3y + 54 = 3x
Subtract 54
3y = 3x - 54
Divide by 3
y = x - 18
The slope is 1
Make it negative and reciprocal
= -1/1 = -1
Solution: the slope will be -1
