<u>Answer: </u>

Equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x-4 and that passes through the point (2 -3) is  y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

<u>Solution: </u>

The slope - intercept form equation of line is given as

y = mx+c    ----- (1)

Where m is the slope of the line. The coefficient of “x” is the value of slope of the line.

Given that

3x  -y = 4          

Converting above equation in slope intercept form,

y = 3x - 4 ----  (2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get slope of equation (2) is m=3

Consider equation of the line which is perpendicular to equation (2) is y=m_{1} x+b --- eqn 3

If two lines having slope m1 and m1 are perpendicular then relation between their slope is m_{1} m_{2}=-1

That is if slope of the line (2) is 3 then slope of equation (3) is  m_{1}=-\frac{1}{3}

On substituting value of m1 in equation (3), we get

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+b --- eqn 4

Given that equation (4) passes through (2, -3) that is x = 2 and y = -3. So on substituting value of x and y in equation (4),

-3=-\frac{2}{3}+b

On simplifying above equation,

\begin{aligned} b &=\frac{2}{3}-3 \\ b &=\frac{2-9}{3} \\ b &=-\frac{7}{3} \end{aligned}

On substituting value of b in equation (4),

y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

Hence equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-4 and that passes through the point (2 -3)  is y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

Operation for <br><br>w/7 = 14<br><br>addition<br>subtraction<br>multiplication<br>division​
NikAS [45]

Answer: Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

w/7=14

Multiply 7 on both sides

w/7 × 7=14 × 7

w=98

In order to isolate w on one side, we should times 7 as the numerator in order to eliminate the 7 in the denominator. To promise equality, we need to multiply 7 on both sides in order to isolate w and solve the equation.

<h2>Thus, it is multiplication.</h2>
