Find an equation of the line which passes through the point P(5, 3) and is perpendicular
to the line 𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 5.

Find an equation of the line which passes through the point P(2, 4) and is parallel to the
line 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 7.

2. Solve the system of equations using the method of elimination. Verify your final answer
by substituting it back into both of the original equations.

2𝑥 − 5𝑦 = 1

3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13

3. In a jar there are 450 coins (dimes and nickels only). The total monetary value in the jar
is 35 dollars. How any dimes and how many nickels are in the jar?
(Let x represent the number of dimes and let y represent the number of nickels. First
write two equations involving x and y, and then solve the system of equations.)
