As soon as I see the word "Which ...", I know that there's a list of choices that
goes along with this question, but you decided not to share them. So there's
no way for me to help you choose the correct one.

In order to form a proportion with 3/4, you need another fraction (or ratio) that's
equal to 3/4 . Look for a fraction whose numerator is 3/4 of its denominator.

Here are a few examples:

-- 6 / 8
-- 24 / 32
-- 300 / 400
-- 12 million / 16 million
-- 3x / 4x
-- 15abc / 20abc
-- 3(x+y+z) / 4(x+y+z)

Line $1$ represents the graph of $3x + 4y = -14$. Line $2$ passes through the point $(-5,7)$, and is perpendicular to line $1$.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for Line 1

3x + 4y = -14

move the x to the right of the equation

4y = -3x - 14

divide the whole equation by 4

y = -3/4x - 14/4

Line 1 is y = -3/4x - 7/2

Then, solve for Line 2

Since Line 2 is perpendicular, change the sign of the slope of Line 1 and then get the reciprocal of that.

-3/4 to 3/4 to 4/3

4/3 is the slope of Line 2.

Now, we want to find what the b of the equation is, so we can plug in our x (-5) and our y (7) into the y=mx+b equation to find b. The 4/3 is the m or the slope.

y = mx + b

plug in the y, m, and x into the equation

7 = (4/3)(-5) + b

multiply the m and x together

7 = -20/3 + b

add 20/3 to both sides so it will cancel out on the right of the equation and be added to the 7 on the left of the equation

41/3 = b

So, m = 4/3 and b = 41/3

Add them together and you get 45/3 or 15.

I hope this helped!
