9x-6y=-42 simplified???

x = 4.666666667 + -0.6666666667y i think

Step-by-step explanation:

    x = -4.666666667 + -0.6666666667y

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

9x + 6y = -42

Solving

9x + 6y = -42

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.

9x + 6y + -6y = -42 + -6y

Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0

9x + 0 = -42 + -6y

9x = -42 + -6y

Divide each side by '9'.

x = -4.666666667 + -0.6666666667y

Simplifying

x = -4.666666667 + -0.6666666667y

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
