What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to -x+3y=9 and passes through point (-3,2)

Lynna [10]4 years ago

Answer:

The perpendicular line would be y = -3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we first need to solve the original line for y.

-x + 3y = 9

3y = x + 9

y = 1/3x + 3

Now we know the slope of the original line to be 1/3. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slope, we know the new line to have a slope of -3. We can then use that along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -3(x + 3)

y - 2 = -3x - 9

y = -3x - 7

What is x and y? 2x-2y=-4 2x+y=11 Is there infinitely many solutions, 1 solution, or no solution? solve by elimination.
Kaylis [27]

Let's solve your system by substitution.

2x−2y=−4;2x+y=11

Rewrite equations:

2x+y=11;2x−2y=−4

Step: Solve2x+y=11for y:

2x+y=11

2x+y+−2x=11+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)

y=−2x+11

Step: Substitute−2x+11foryin2x−2y=−4:

2x−2y=−4

2x−2(−2x+11)=−4

6x−22=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

6x−22+22=−4+22(Add 22 to both sides)

6x=18

6x/6 = 18/6

(Divide both sides by 6)

x=3

Step: Substitute3forxiny=−2x+11:

y=−2x+11

y=(−2)(3)+11

y=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=5
