2x - y = 3
x = -2y - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 3

x = -2y - 1

2x - y = 3

2(-2y - 1) - y = 3

-4y - 2 - y = 3         {add 2 to both sides}

- 5y = 5             {divide both sides by (-5)}

 y = -1

x = -2y - 1 = -2(-1) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

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)
