Answer:

y=-1/2x+7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

two lines are perpendicular if the product of the slopes is equal to -1

the slope for y=2x+4 is 2

2*x=-1

x=-1/2

the formula for the slope is

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

we know y1 and x1

(y+5)/(x+3)=-1/2

y+5=x+3/2

2y+10=x+3

2y=x-7

y=-1/2x+7/2

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:x=53/6 and y=-55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number x

Second number b y

Sum of the numbers x+y=-1/3

x-y=18

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

We get

2y=-55/3

y=-55/6

Substitute for y in equation 1

x+55/6=18

x=18-55/6

x=53/6
