Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

line perpendicular to ax+by=c is

bx-ay=k, where k is a constant.

if it passes through (-1,2) then

b(-1)-a(2)=k

or k=b-2a

so reqd. eq . is bx-ay=b-2a

The expression (3x - 2)/(x + 4) = 0 has a value of x is 3/2. Amd the expression 2/(x + 4) = 0 has a value of x is ∞.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.

The expression is given below.

(3x - 2)/(x + 4) = 0

Then on simplifying, we have

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 3/2

And

2/(x - 3) = 0

2 ≠ 0

More about the simplification link is given below.

Apply the distributive property to the expression to write an equivalent expression. Complete the statements.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

4(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find to GCF of 4x+16.

Now factor out the GCF by dividing each term in the expression by 4.

4x divided by the GCF is x, and 16 divided by the GCF is 4.

The equivalent expression is 4(x+4).

Which of the following is an equation of the line that passes through the point (−2, 3) and is perpendicular to the graph of the

Ludmilka [50]

The equation of the line is $y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}$

Explanation:

The given equation is $y=3 x-2$

<u>Slope:</u>

Since, the equation of the line is perpendicular to the equation $y=3 x-2$ , then, the slope is given by

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

<u>Equation of the line:</u>

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substituting the point (-2,3) and the slope $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ , in the above formula, we get,

$y-3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$

Simplifying, we get,

$y-3=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}+3$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}$

Therefore, the equation of the line is $y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}$
