If n is rational, it means that

n\in\mathbb{Q}\Rightarrow n=\frac{p}{q},\quad p\in\mathbb{Z},\quad q\in\mathbb{Z}^*

Therefore when we do n² we can write it as

n^2=\frac{p^2}{q^2},\quad p\in\mathbb{Z},\quad q\in\mathbb{Z}^*

Remember that the product of two integer numbers is also an integer, therefore we can guarantee that

p^2\in\mathbb{Z}\text{ and }q^2\in\mathbb{Z}^*

Then we can confirm that n² is the quotient of two integers and the denominator is not zero, therefore, n² is always rational, it cannot be an irrational number

adoni [48]

Answer:

y = 1/3 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is

(4 - (-2) / 2 - 4)

=   -3.

So the slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / (-3) = 1/3.

This line also passes through the point (3, 1) so its equation is ( by the point-slope form):

y - 1 = 1/3(x - 3)

y - 1 = 1/3x - 1

y = 1/3 x (answer).

hope that help you mark me brinilylist
