Answer:
<h2>
y = -4/9</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations y = 3/2 x − 6, y = −9/2 x + 21, since both expressions are functions of y, we will equate both of them to find the variable x;
3/2 x − 6 = −9/2 x + 21,
Cross multiplying;
3(2x+21) = -9(2x-6)
6x+63 = -18x+54
collecting the like terms;
6x+18x = 54-63
24x = -9
x = -9/24
x = -3/8
To get the value of y, we will substitute x = -3/8 into any of the given equation. Using the first equation;
y = 3/2x-6
y = 3/{2(-3/8)-6}
y = 3/{(-3/4-6)}
y = 3/{(-3-24)/4}
y = 3/(-27/4)
y = 3 * -4/27
y = -4/9
Hence, the value of y is -4/9
Answer: y= x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicularity entails the slope of line a is -1 divided by the slope of line b
m1= (-1/m2)
From y=Mx +c
We compare with x-4y=7
y=(1/4)x-7/4
Meaning m2= 1/4
m1= -1/(1/4)= -1*4= -4
((y-y1)/(x-x1))= ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1))=m1
x1= 2, y1= -4
((y-(-4))/(x-2))= -4
((y+4)/(x-2))= -4
Cross multiply
y+4= -4(x-2)
y= x-2
The answer to -16^-3/4 is -8
