If y=-3x, find x's and y's value in 4x-2y=-20

x = - 2

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = - 20

Now substitute - 3x for y.

4x - 2(-3x) = -20           combine the xs in the brackets

4x + 6x = - 20               Make the addition      

10x = - 20                      Divide by 10

x = - 20/10                     Do the division

x = - 2                            

3x - 2y = - 20                 Put - 2 in for x  

3(-2) - 2y = - 20              remove the brackets              

- 6 - 2y = - 20                 Add 6 to both sides

-2y = - 20 + 6                 Combine

-2y = - 14                         Divide by - 2

y = - 14/-2                        

y = 7

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
