Question

Find x and y so that line NR is perpendicular to line MQ

Answer 1

Given:-

An image.

To find the value of x and y.

So we know that an angle for the perpendicular line is 90 degree.

So we get,

`9y+18=90,5x+x=90`

So now we simplify the above equation,

`\begin{gathered} 9y+18=90 \\ 9y=90-18 \\ 9y=72 \\ y=(72)/(9) \\ y=8 \end{gathered}`

So now the value of y is 8.

Also,

`\begin{gathered} 5x+x=90 \\ 6x=90 \\ x=(90)/(6) \\ x=15 \end{gathered}`

So the value of x is 15.
