What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (–6, 1) and is perpendicular to the graph of 2x + 3y = –5? y = x – 8
y = x + 1
y = x + 1
y = x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = -2x - 5

y = -2/3x - 5/3

perp: 3/2

y - 1 = 3/2(x + 6)

y - 1 = 3/2x + 9

y = 3/2x + 10

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

can i see a photo of the question so i can you?
