Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have three similar triangles:

therefore the sides are in proportion:

We have AD = a, CD = 16 and BD = 4. Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>

and other proportion:

We have AB = b, BC = 16 + 4 = 20 and BD = 4. Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>

~Solve by Graphing~
- I graphed the given equations in a program.
- The point of intersection, if the lines pass, would be the solution.
- The point of intersection in the given system of equations is (4,1).
- This means that (4,1) is the solution.
- See the graph attached.

Answer:
x = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.
Thus a perpendicular line will be vertical and parallel to the y- axis.
The equation of a vertical line is
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (- 2, 1) with x- coordinate - 2, thus
x = - 2 ← equation of perpendicular line
