Answer:
y=(-5/3)x+29
Step-by-step explanation:
we will use the base formula y=mx+b
In order to be perpendicular, the slope must be the flipped fraction and have the opposite sign, so our m is (-5/3)
y=(-5/3)x+b
You can plug in the (9,14) point in order to find the b
14=(-5/3)(9)+b
14=(-45/3)+b
14=(-15)+b
14+15=b
29=b
and so altogether our equation is y=(-5/3)x+29
There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...
... (x, y) = (4, 7)
_____
You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to

is given by

Here, that means
... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4
... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7
_____
A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.
7-3y=22
-7 -7
-3y=15
Divide by -3. y=-5
This is called the <u>Multiplication property of equality.</u>
The multiplication property of equality states that whatever you multiply on one side, you must multiply the same quantity on the other side of the equation. In this case, variable c is multiplied to both sides of the equation.
