Hey there!

A perpendicular line's slope to another line is always the negative reciprocal of slope.

If our line has a slope of two, we first must find the reciprocal, which is 1/2. Then, we put a negative on it.

Therefore, our equation is y=-1/2x+b.

I hope that this helps! Have a great day!

Solve the system by substitution. 4x+3y=5x=4y+6Options: A. The solution is ____B. There are infinitely many solutions. C. There

zvonat [6]

So we have the following system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} 4x+3y=5 \\ x=4y+6 \end{gathered}$

We need to solve it by substitution. This means that we have to take the expression for x given by the second equation and replace x with it in the first equation:

$\begin{gathered} 4x+3y=5 \\ 4\cdot(4y+6)+3y=5 \\ 16y+24+3y=5 \\ 16y+3y=5-24 \\ 19y=-19 \\ y=-\frac{19}{19}=-1 \end{gathered}$

So y=-1. If we use this value in the second equation:

$\begin{gathered} x=4y+6 \\ x=4\cdot(-1)+6 \\ x=-4+6 \\ x=2 \end{gathered}$

So we have x=2 and y=-1 which means that there's one solution. Then the correct answer is A and the solution is (2,-1).

NemiM [27]

Answer:

2. 4x = 7x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x = 7(x - 3) \\ 4x = 7x - 21 \\ 21 = 7x - 4x \\ 21 = 3x \\ \frac{21}{3} = x \\ 7 = x \\$
