In order to find the slop it is probably best to put the equation in y=mx+b form. This means to get y by itself on one side.
24x-9y=63 will then become -9y=63-24x in which y has been isolated.
Then you should divided by -9 to get the final form: y=24x/9 -63/9.
Now you can get the slope of the perpendicular line by taking the slope of the original equation and finding its reciprocal which is -9/24x. This is your answer.
To find the GCF of the two terms, continuous division must be done.
What can be used to divide both terms such that there is not a remainder?
Start small, let's take 2. It could be a GCF.
Move up higher, say 3. Yes, it can be a GCF.
To see if there might be a greater common factor, divide the constants by 3.
48/3 = 16
81/3 = 27
Upon inspection and contemplation, there is no more common factor between 16 and 27. So, 3 is the GCF.
Moving on, when it comes to variables. The variable with the least exponents is easily the GCF. For the variable m, the GCF is m2 and for n, the GCF is n.
Combining the three, we have the overall GCF = 3m2n
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Use the two ordered pairs to find the slope m.
2.Then substitute the slope and one set of ordered pairs into y = mx + b and solve for b.
