Answer:

2/3 is the slope of the perpendicular line

Step-by-step explanation:

1) put into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

-8=2y+3x

-2y=3x+8

y=-3/2x-4

2) the line is perpendicular so the slope will be opposite and the reciprical of the original slope.

so, because the original was -3/2, the new one is 2/3

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify first what is in the parenthesis before distributing the exponent outside would help.

Remember that negative exponents simply means that their on the wrong side of the fraction. So if you find a variable with a negative exponent as a numerator, you bring them down and when it is found as a denominator, you bring them up.

Also when you distribute your exponents, you always multiply it to each exponent inside the parenthesis.
