Which is the equation for the line perpendicular to y = –5/3 x + 11 1/3 and containing P(–2, 3)?

Okay, to answer this question,
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse of one another and with opposite signs so,
If a line has a slope of m= -2 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=1/2
If a line has a slope of m= -3/4 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=4/3 If a line has a slope of m= 6 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=-1/6

So, just find the slope of your line, using it, get the slope of the line that will be perpendicular and then just get the equation for a line that has that slope and passes through point (-2,3) using: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
I hope I helped you with my answer

How do I find a common denominator for a complex faction when one denominator is 2m-1 and the other is 2m+5

ratelena [41]

The best option is to multiply them together, there would be no value that is common between the two, (2m - 1)(2m + 5), and leave it in this form.

However, there is a second method.
Notice how between the two sits a difference of 6.
You can manipulate one of the fractions to render the same denominator and work from there.

Hello!
When you have a non-exact root (irrational number)

$\sqrt{ \frac{3}{16} } \to \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{16} } \to \boxed{\boxed{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{4} }}\Longleftarrow(irrational\:number)\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
