The value of x, y and z from the system of equation are -1, -8 and 5 respectively.
Data;
- -2x + 6y + 3z = -31
- -3y + 7z = 59
- 2z = 10
To solve this problem, we have to solve the system of equation using substitution method.
From equation (iii)
let us substitute the value of z into equation (ii)
Let's substitute the value of x and y into equation (i)
From the calculation above, the value of x, y and z are -1, -8 and 5 respectively.

Answer:
y = - 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular bisector is positioned at the midpoint of AB at right angles.
We require to find the midpoint and slope m of AB
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(3, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 5, 6)
m = =
=
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= - 4
mid point = [0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]
Using the coordinates of A and B, then
midpoint AB = [0.5(3 - 5), 0.5(8 + 6) ] = (- 1, 7 )
Equation of perpendicular in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
with m = - 4
y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 1, 7) into the partial equation
Using (- 1, 7), then
7 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 7 - 4 = 3
y = - 4x + 3 ← equation of perpendicular bisector
