If L2 passes through point (3, 1):



So L2 = L1
b) If L3 is perpendicular to L1, then the slope of L3 is the negative reciprocals of the slope of L1 ⇒ 
If L3 passes through point (-5, 2):

Answer:
Apples = 24
Pears = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u be the unit of fruit in the basket,
number of apples: 
number of pears: 
now to find u, we equate the two equations.

Now simplify.



Now we can find the original number of apples and pears by substituting u.
so original number of apples = 
and original number of pears =
