keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

2x+3y=21\implies 3y=-2x+21\implies y=\cfrac{-2x+21}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-2x}{3}+\cfrac{21}{3}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+7\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

therefore then

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-2}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{-2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}}}

Answer:

\frac{180}{147}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Simplify (\frac{3}{-7} - \frac{11}{21} )

=> \frac{(-3 \times 3) - 11}{21}

=> \frac{-9 - 11}{21}

=> \frac{-20}{21}

  • Find the additive inverse of  \frac{-20}{21} by using its property - <em>"Sum of a number & its additive inverse is always zero". </em>Assume that 'x' is an additive inverse of  \frac{-20}{21}.

=> x + \frac{-20}{21} = 0

=> x = 0 - (-\frac{20}{21}) = \frac{20}{21}

  • Simplify (\frac{9}{5} \div \frac{7}{5} )

=> \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{1}{\frac{7}{5} }

=> \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{5}{7}

=> \frac{9}{7}

  • Now, find the product of \frac{9}{7} & \frac{20}{21}

=> \frac{9}{7} \times \frac{20}{21}

=> \frac{180}{147}
