Perpendicular lines have a slope that is equal to the negative inverse.
Slope is m=-2 so the new slope would be m=-(-1/2)=+1/2

Then use point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) to get

y-2=1/2(x-3)

y=1/2x+1/2

Explain how you know 21/30 is greater than 2/3

Luba_88 [7]

Simple.

to figure out if they are either: equal, greater, or smaller...

First, find a common denominator...

$\frac{21}{30}$

and

$\frac{2}{3} * \frac{10}{10} = \frac{20}{30}$

Now, we can obviously make the assumption that $\frac{21}{30}$ is greater than $\frac{20}{30}$ .

Thus, your answer.

Please simplify this fraction c:

Liula [17]

F you just want to see the really short way, just skip down to AAAAAAAAAAAA

so, here is the long explanation
exponential properties
$x^{-m}= \frac{1}{x^m}$

don't forget pemdas
2x^2=2(x^2)

so
$\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}$ = $\frac{2 \frac{1}{x^4} }{3xy}= \frac{2}{3x^5y}$

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
so we see
the original equatio is
$\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}$

remember
$\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{a}{c})( \frac{b}{d})$

so we can seperate the constants
$\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{2}{3})( \frac{x^{-4}}{xy})$

we know that the placeholders cannot affet the position of the constants unless they are grouped together which they are not

terfor the answer must have 2/3 in it

the only one that hsa that is A
