Answer:

  A)  3y = x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a perpendicular line can be found by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. The constant will be chosen to match the given point.

Swapping coefficients, we get ...

  -3y = x + c

Negating the y-coefficient gives ...

  3y = x + c

Filling in the given point, we have ...

  3(5) = -1 + c

  16 = c

The equation of the perpendicular line can be written as ...

  3y = x + 16 . . . . matches choice A

_____

Note that choice A is the only equation that gives a line with positive slope. The given equation has negative slope, so its perpendicular must have positive slope.

1. 3x + y = 11<br> 5x - y = 21
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

[4, -1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Elimination Method:

3x + y = 11

5x - y = 21

__________

8x = 32

__ ___

8 8

x = 4 [Plug this back into both equations to get the y-coordinate of -1]; -1 = y

The <em>y</em>'s are already <em>additive</em><em> </em><em>inverses</em><em> </em>[result in 0], canceling each other out.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
