(X+4)(X-4) is the LCD because you just have to look at the denominators and see what factors or values are not already part of your LCD.
Answer:
x= -8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: perpendicular slope is -2/3</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
Solve the given equation for y
2y = 3x - 10
y = (3x-10)/2 ..... divide both sides by 2
y = (3x)/2 - 10/2
y = (3/2)x - 5
The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 3/2 as the slope.
The perpendicular slope is -2/3 because we flip the fraction and the sign from positive to negative.
Note how multiplying the original slope 3/2 and the perpendicular slope -2/3 leads to -1
(3/2)*(-2/3) = -1
This is true for any pair of perpendicular lines, assuming neither line is vertical.
