I'm going to use the substitution method.

4x + 4y = -16
-8x - 6y = -20

4x + 4y = -16
- 4x - 4x
--------------------------
4y = -4x - 16
------ ------ ------
4 4 4

y = -x - 4

-8x - 6(-x - 4) = -20
-8x + 6x + 24 = -20
-2x + 24 = -20
- 24 - 24
----------------------------
-2x = 44
------- -------
2 2

x = 22

4(22) + 4y = -16
88 + 4y = -16
- 88 - 88
------------------------
4y = -104
------ ---------
4 4

y = -26

The answer is (22, -26).

Which best describes the graphs of the line that passes through (−12, 15) and (4, −5), and the line that passes through (−8, −9)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

C) They are perpendicular lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the slope of the graph of the lines passing through these points using:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope of the line that passes through (−12, 15) and (4, −5) is

$m_{1} = \frac{ - 5 - 15}{4 - - 12}$

$m_{1} = \frac{ - 20}{16} = - \frac{5}{4}$

The slope of the line going through (−8, −9) and (16, 21) is

$m_{2} = \frac{21 - - 9}{16 - - 8}$

$m_{2} = \frac{21 + 9}{16 + 8}$

$m_{2} = \frac{30}{24} = \frac{5}{4}$

The product of the two slopes is

$m_{1} \times m_{2} = - \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} = - 1$

Since

$m_{1} \times m_{2} = - 1$

the two lines are perpendicular.
