Answer:
A. -2
B. -10
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line:
-1/(1/2) = -2 . . . . slope of the perpendicular line
__
The y-intercept will let the given point satisfy the equation ...
y = -2x +b
2 = -2(-6) +b
-10 = b . . . . . . . subtract 12. This is the y-intercept.
_____
The graph shows the two lines and the points they go through.
(x , y) = (7, - 1)
2x + 3y = 11 → (1)
3x + 3y = 18 → (2)
subtracting (1) from (2) term by term eliminates the y- term
(3x - 2x) + (3y - 3y) = (18 - 11)
x + 0 = 7 ⇒ x = 7
substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
(1) → (2 × 7) + 3y = 11
14 + 3y = 11
subtract 14 from both sides
3y = 11 - 14 = - 3
divide both sides by 3
= - 1
solution is (7 , -1)
