Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A B C D and E are collinear.

$\therefore AE = AC + CE\\\therefore AC = AE - CE\\\therefore AC = x + 50 - (x + 32) \\\therefore AC = x + 50 - x - 32 \\\therefore AC = 50 - 32 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore AC = 18}}$

Answer:

$y = \frac{4}{3}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

As the line is perpendicular to $y=-\frac{3}{4} x + 2$ , we know that the slope of the line is $\frac{4}{3}$ . As it passes through $(3, - 1)$ , we know that it should be $y = \frac{4}{3}x-5$ .
