Answer:

3x + y = 20 and x - 2y = - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

(a)

Given

3x + y = 17 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

y = - 3x + 17 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Para;;el lines have equal slopes , then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 8) into the partial equation

8 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 12 = 20

y = - 3x + 20 ← in slope- intercept form

Add 3x to both sides

3x + y = 20 ← in standard form

--------------------------------------------------------

(b)

Given

y + 2x = 13 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

y = - 2x + 13 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/(-2) =
(1)/(2) , then

y =
(1)/(2) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 1 = 2

y =
(1)/(2) x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2y = x + 4

x - 2y = - 4 ← in standard form
