-3 • (5x + 2y = 7)
-15x - 6y = -21
-2x + 6y = 9
__________
-17x = -12
x = 12/17
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 3.47
y = 1.735
Hello :
4√2-7√2= (4-7)√2 = -3√2
Whts the quiz
I don't understand the quiz
To find the slope intercept form of a line perpendicular to a given equation, the first thing you need to do is to find the slope of the perpendicular line. Because lines perpendicular to one another are always have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of them, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=x would be -1 (since the slope of y=x is 1). Then, since the perpendicular line passes through the point (5, -3), you would plug in the values of the x and y into the equation
y=-1x+b to get -3=-1(5)+b.
When you simplify, solve for b to get b=2. Now that you have your slope (m=-1) and your y-intercept (b=2), you can conclude that your perpendicular equation would be y=-x+2.
Answer:
One number is 15 and 3 less than that is 12 so that is your other number
