Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply together to equal -1

Let the slope of the perpendicular line be p

a/b * p = -1

Multiply each side by b/a so we can isolate p

a/b * b/a * p = -1 * b/a

p = -b/a

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

X =
First, before we can add, we have to find a common denominator.
We can use 24.
7 7/8 x 3/3 = 7 21/24
2 1/3 x 8/8 = 2 8/24
Now we add.
7 21/24 + 2 8/24 = 9 29/24 (denominator stays the same)
Lastly, simplify
9 29/24 = 10 5/24
Hope this helps
