Answer:
y =
x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = - 3x + 13 is in this form
with m = - 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= 
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (6, 10) into the partial equation
10 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 10 - 2 = 8
y =
x + 8 ← equation of line
Answer:
Given System of equation:
x-y =6 .....,[1]
2x-3z = 16 ......[2]
2y+z = 4 .......[3]
Rewrite the equation [1] as
y = x - 6 .......[4]
Substitute the value of [4] in [3], we get

Using distributive property on LHS ( i.e,
)
then, we have
2x - 12 +z =4
Add 12 to both sides of an equation:
2x-12+z+12=4+12
Simplify:
2x +z = 16 .......[5]
On substituting equation [2] in [5] we get;
2x+z=2x -3z
or
z = -3z
Add 3z both sides of an equation:
z+3z = -3z+3z
4z = 0
Simplify:
z = 0
Substitute the value of z = 0 in [2] to solve for x;

or
2x = 16
Divide by 2 both sides of an equation:

Simplify:
x= 8
Substitute the value of x =8 in equation [4] to solve for y;
y = 8-6 = 2
or
y = 2
Therefore, the solution for the given system of equation is; x = 8 , y = 2 and z =0
