You applied the rule improperly. When dividing exponents, you subtract the exponent of the denominator <em>from</em> the exponent of the numerator, not the other way around. The exponent you should have gotten was 
Answer:
1) y=⅚x -2⅓
2) y=8/3x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Point-slope form:</u>
y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Parallel lines have the same gradient.
Gradient of given line= 
Thus, m=⅚
Susbt. m=⅚ into the equation,
y= ⅚x +c
Since the line passes through the point (4, 1), (4, 1) must satisfy the equation. Thus, substitute (4, 1) into the equation to find c.
When x=4, y=1,
1= ⅚(4) +c

Thus the equation of the line is
.
The gradients of perpendicular lines= -1.
Gradient of given line= -⅜
-⅜(gradient of line)= -1
gradient of line
= -1 ÷ (-⅜)
= -1 ×(-8/3)
= 

When x=3, y=3,

Thus the equation of the line is
.
Answer:
f(x) = 2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently the ordered pairs are ...
(x, f(x)) = (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 9)
We note that as x increases by 1, the value of f(x) increases by 2. The difference between f(x) and 2x is 3-2·1 = 1, so we have ...
f(x) -2x = 1
f(x) = 2x +1 . . . . . . add 2x
