Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that if we have an original line and we are finding the perpendicular we know that the slope of the second line is gonna be the negative reciprocal of the first line and given that we know it must be perpendicular to the original line it will be heading downwards on the y axis with no slope so instead of y equals it will be x equals and we know that our x value of the point given is three so the answer is x = 3

How do I find x and y using what is in the equation

Tatiana [17]

y is part of a right angle on line AB

a right angle = 90 degrees

90-47 = 43 degrees

y = 43 degrees

a straight line = 180 degrees

180-47 = 133 degrees

x = 133 degrees
