Let's find the slope for line t first.

We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

1 - 6 / 10 - 2

-5/8

The slope is -5/8.

Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.

When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.

Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5

<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>

16-5(3t-4)=8(-2t+11) How to Solve
Hunter-Best [27]

16 - 5(3t - 4) = 8(-2t + 11)        <em>use distributive property</em>: <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

16 - (5)(3t) - (5)(-4) = (8)(-2t) + (8)(11)

16 - 15t + 20 = -16t + 88

36 - 15t = -16t + 88      <em>subtract 36 from both sides</em>

-15t = -16t + 52            <em>add 16t to both sides</em>

t = 52
