There are 3 choices for the pants. Having selected a pair of pants there are 2 choices for a shirt. Therefore there are 3 * 2 possible choices for a pair of pants and a shirt. Each of these 6 possible choices can be combined with each of the 3 possible choices of a pair of shoes. So, the total number of choices of outfit is given by:
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Y = 3/2x + 1
The slope is 3/2, opposite sign = -3/2 now reciprocal = -2/3
Y = -2/3x + b
Plug in the point (6,-2)
-2 = -2/3(6) + b
-2 = -12/3 + b
-2 = -4 + b, b =2
Solution: y = -2/3x + 2
Example: 2x+2y=8 and 3y+2x=6
Okay so u first want to put on of the equations into a y= form. So let's use 3y+2x=6. Subtract 2x from both sides. 3y=6-2x divide by 3. Y= 6-2/3x or y= -2/3x + 6. Now just plug this new equation in for Y since "y=" into the other equation.
2x + 2(-2/3x + 6) = 8.
Then you would distribute the 2 into the parenthesis and simplify to solve for x.
After you solve for x, plug x into one of the original equations to find y.
