The slope of a line is 5/9 and the slope of another line is -975. The two lines
are

the third option - they are perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

for a perpendicular slope we need to exchange the x and y values (remember, a slope is the ratio of y/x) and flip the sign.

and that is exactly what happened here.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

the answer is two. hope this !
