Answer:

  a) x = -3

  b) y = (28/27)x -27

Step-by-step explanation:

a) College street has a slope of 0, so is a horizontal line. 2nd Ave is perpendicular, so is a vertical line, described by an equation of the form ...

  x = constant

For 2nd Ave to intersect the point (-3, 1), the constant must match that x-coordinate. The equation is ...

  x = -3

__

b) Since Ace Rd is perpendicular to Davidson St, its slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the slope of Davidson St. The slope of Ace Rd is ...

  m = -1/(-27/28) = 28/27

Using the point-slope equation for a line, we can model Ace Rd as ...

  y -y1 = m(x -x1)

  y -1 = (28/27)(x -27)

  y = (28/27)x -27
