First you would need to apply the distributive property on the left side to get rid of the parenthesis. Then, you would need to apply the square root on both sides of the equation. Once this is done you would just need to solve for x.
(x-y)(x-7)
You can get this by using the splitting method.
y = (1/2)x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the given line is
y = -2x + 13
The equation of the perpendicular line that we need must have a slope of 1/2 and passes through (2, -3) so the form should be
y = (1/2)x + b
To solve for b, use the point (2, -3)
-3 = (1/2)(2) + b ---> b = -4
Therefore, the equation that we need has the form
y = (1/2)x - 4
