So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.
First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:
(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4
The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.
The answer is 44. ! Your welcome
-2x-y=3 ...(1)
x+2y=4 ...(2)
multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
-2x-y+2x+4y=3+8
3y=11
y=11/3
from (2)
x=4-2y=4-2(11/3)
or x=4-(22/3)
=(12-22)/3=-10/3
