Answer:

y=5/7   x=31/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the x values the opposite of each other:

-2(x+5y=8)

-2x-10y=-16

2x+3y=9

Combine like terms and solve for y:

-7y=-5

y=5/7

Plug y in to find x.

x+5(5/7)=8

x+25/7=8

56/7-25/7=x

x=31/7

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the given line.
inessss [21]

Answer:

(a). <em>y = 3x - 11 ;</em> (b). <em>y = </em>-\frac{1}{3}<em> x - 1 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.

(3, - 2)

The slope of given line is 3

<em>(a)</em>. Equation of ║ line is

y + 2 = 3(x - 3)

<em>y = 3x - 11</em>

<em>(b).</em> Slope of perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{3}

y + 2 = -\frac{1}{3} (x - 3)

<em>y = </em>-\frac{1}{3}<em> x - 1</em>
