Distributive property, commutative property, and associative property (I believe. I tried my best but I’m not completely sure that I’m correct. Good luck!)
Answer:
(x, y) = (1, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll write these equations in general form, then solve using the cross-multiplication method.
43x +67y +24 = 0
67x +43y -24 = 0
∆1 = (43)(43) -(67)(67) = -2640
∆2 = (67)(-24) -(43)(24) = -2640
∆3 = (24)(67) -(-24)(43) = 2640
These go into the relations ...
1/∆1 = x/∆2 = y/∆3
x = ∆2/∆1 = -2640/-2640 = 1
y = ∆3/∆1 = 2640/-2640 = -1
The solution is (x, y) = (1, -1).

<em>Additional comment</em>
The cross multiplication method isn't taught everywhere. The attachment explains a bit about it. Our final relationship changes the order of the fractions to 1, x, y from x, y, 1. That way, we can use the equation coefficients in their original general-form order. (The fourth column in the 2×4 array of coefficients is a repeat of the first column.)
Hey there!
First, let's look at what perpendicular means. Imagine a cross, where there's all 90 degree angles. That's exactly what we're talking about when we say perpendicular. The given equation is in slope-intercept form, where we have:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When we're writing an equation with a perpendicular slope, we use the negative reciprocal of the given slope. Thus, we can make 0.3 1/3, and take the reciprocal to make 3, and make it negative 3 as it's the negative reciprocal. Now, we know we have a line with the slope of -3 and goes through (-3, 8). We can use the x and y values in this set of points, along with the slope, to create an equation to solve for b. That gives us:
8 = -3(-3) + b
8 = -9 + b
17 = b
Now, since we have slope and y-intercept, we can write our equation as:
y = -3x + 17
Hope this helps!
