Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are lines which have a specific relationship. The slopes of the two lines are negative reciprocals of each other. We can find the slope easily in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b.

Since our equation is already in slope intercept form then y=5x-2 has a slope of 5.

The slope of the perpendicular line will be -1/5. This is the negative reciprocal of 5.

The value of x and y is 5 , 7

<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>

An expression consists of variables , constants and mathematical operators , when equated by any other algebraic expression or a constant it becomes an equation.

The equation given in the question is

(x + 1)/2  -(y+4)/11 = 2

(x+3) /2 + (2y+3)/17 = 5

It has to be solved for x and y ,

The simplification of the equation has to be done

and the equation is

11x-2y = 41  -----------1

and

17x +4y = 113    -------------------2

to find the solution elimination method will be followed as

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and adding the both equations

39x = 195

x = 5

Substituting this value in equation 1

55 -2y = 41

y = 7

The value of x and y is 5 , 7
