Very likely...... I assume
Answer: .....
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is very simple .
First you need to determine the slope, which is the reciprocal of the first line.
Then,
y = mx + b
m => -1/m
The perperdicular line has a new slope equal to m = -1/2
In the formula (y - y1) = m ( x - x1 ) + b , you should sustitude this value.
So the final equation will be
-3 = -1/2 (0) + b
b = - 3
y = (-1/2)x - 3
That is the solution
3.5x-10>-3 add 10 to both sides
3.5x>7 divide both sides by 3.5
x>2
... now for the other inequality:
8x-9<39 add 9 to both sides
8x<48 divide both sides by 3
x<6
So we have x>2 and x<6, so the compound inequality is:
2<x<6 and this means that the solution set is:
x=(2, 6)
