To get to simplest form find the greatest common factor, or the gcf, of both numbers. To do that find all of the factors and find the one with the highest value both numbers share. So 30 would have factors of 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30, and 42 would have the factors of 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42. Both numbers share the factors of 1, 2, 3, and 6 so the gcf is 6. Now divide both numbers by six to get your answer.

Answer: 5/7

Which of the following points lies on the line perpendicular to
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals. if u don't know what opposite reciprocals are, according to study.com they are, "The term opposite reciprocals refers to two numbers that have opposite signs and are flipped fractions of each other." for example, 1/2 and -2 are opposite reciprocals.

also recall that the formula to find the slope of a line is m=y2-y1/x2-x1

to solve this problem, we need to go through all of the options and find the slope of that line using the given point and point (0,4). After that, we need to check if that slope is equal to 1. One is the opposite reciprocal of -1, and -1 is the slope of the equation y= -x+4. if the slope is equal to 1, the line will be perpendicular to the line y= -x+4.

lets do the math now:

option a)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=12-4/6-0

m=8/6

m=4/3

this line isnt perpendicular to y= -x +4 cuz the slope is 4/3, which isnt equal to 1

option b)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=0-4/6-0

m=-4/6

m= -2/3

this line isnt perpendicular to y= -x +4 cuz the slope is -2/3, which isnt equal to 1

--------------

ok girl i dont wanna do all the rest of the calculations. just keep doing the same thing with all the other options until you find something that has a slope of 1.

toodles! :)
