Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines with undefined slopes are perfectly vertical, of the form "x = ". A line with "the same x-intercept" as the given line that has an undefined slope will be the line that we want. I know that sounds confusing; we'll work through it then I'll explain it better. In order to find the x-intercep of the given line, solving it for y will make it a bit easier to "see". Therefore,
-y = -x + 1 and
y = x - 1. The x-intercept exists when y = 0, so setting y equal to 0 and solving for x:
0 = x - 1 and
1 = x. That's the x-intercept. It's also the line that we want that has an undefined slope, because "x = " lines are lines vertical lines and vertical lines have undefined slopes.
x = 1 is the line you want.
Answer:
x=-36
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2
then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be
-9/2x -9/2x
because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2
then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so
which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it
x=-36
