Answer:

Mariya is 1 year old

Vikram is 7 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the present ages of Mariya and Vikram.

Let the present age of Mariya be M and the present age of Vikram be V

From the question, we are told that in 6 years time, Mariya will be as old as Vikram is now

Thus, mathematically;

M + 6 = V ••••••(i)

Furthermore , in 2 years time Vikram will be 3 time older than Mariya

Mathematically;

( V + 2) = 3( M + 2)

V + 2 = 3M + 6

V = 3M + 6-2

V = 3M + 4 •••••••(ii)

So let’s equate the V

3m + 4 = m + 6

3m -m = 6-4

2m = 2

m = 1

But V = m + 6

V = 1 + 6

V = 7

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,2) and is perpendicular to the line
guajiro [1.7K]
Y = mx + c, where m is your gradient and c is your y intercept.

If the line is perpendicular to the line y = 3x - 5, the line's gradient = -(1/3) as when it comes to perpendicular bisector, m1/m2 = -1

y = -(1/3)x + C
To find C sub in x=2 and y=2 as it goes through (2,2)

2 = -(1/3)2 + C
2 = -(2/3) + C
2 + 2/3 = C
C = 8/3

There your equation of a line is
y = -(1/3)x + 8/3
