To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.
The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3
We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3
The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.
Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.
2 = 1/3(1) + b.
Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3
Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.
y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.
Your solution should be 5.
So your answer is: a = 5

Answer: 2z-15
Step-by-step explanation
Based on the visual image, AD is a line where a point O intersects somewhere on the line. AD is represented as 3z-11, while the segment from AO is represented as z+4.
In order to find the answer, we must subtract the entire line (AD) from AO in order to find the missing segment OD.
AD - AO = OD
(3z-11) - (z+4) = OD
Distribute the negative sign so it becomes:
(3z-11) -z - 4 = OD
Now combine like terms.
(3z-z) +(- 11 -4)= OD
2z - 15 = OD
And that is your answer!
