For each of the following, state the equation of a perpendicular line that passes through (0, 0). Then using the slope of the new equation, find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line. a. y=3x-1 b. y=1/4 x+2

(-13,-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the graph with x-intercept at (7,0) and y-intercept at (0,-7) is y = x-7

and the second equation is y = 2x+6

Therefore, we have two equations.

Because both equations are equal (y=y)

x-7=2x+6

-7-6=2x-x

-13=x

We know the value of x, but not y-value. We substitute the value of x to get the value of y.

Substitute in any given equations which I will be substituting in the first equation.

y=-13-7

y = -20

Therefore when x = -13, y = -20

In coordinate form, we can write as (-13,-20).
