Answer:
a. (-1/2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x have opposite signs, so the x-terms can be eliminated by adding the two equations.
(2y -12x) +(3y +12x) = (16) +(9)
5y = 25 . . . . . . simplify
y = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
This matches only answer choice A.

The other part of answer choice A is x = -1/2. We can test this to make sure it works:
2(5) -12(-1/2) = 16
10 + 6 = 16 . . . . . . true, the selected answer works OK
Answer:
-8/1
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes., meaning the signs are opposite, and the numerator and denominator are flipped.
Here's another example:
If line a had a slope of 4/5, line b would have a slope of -5/4, if the lines are perpendicular.
Factor out the trinomial. Find factors of x² and 6 that would, when added, give you 5x
x² = x * x
6 = 3 * 2
(x + 3)(x + 2) are your binomials.
To solve for x, set each parenthesis = 0
x + 3 = 0
x + 3 (-3) = 0 (-3)
x = -3
x + 2 = 0
x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)
x = -2
x = -3, -2
hope this helps
