One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result: 2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.
The LCD is (5)(9)=45. Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.
Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is 2 13/45.
You could also do this problem by converting 7 8/9 and 5 3/5 into improper fractions:
71/9 - 28/5. Again, the LCD is 45. Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?
Answer:
Neither parallel nor perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant line k is y = 3x -2. If not, this is wrong.
For this, you need to put both lines in point-slope form, or the form that line k is already in. This means you only need to convert line m.
-2r + 6v = 18
6v = 2r + 18
v = 2/6r + 18/6
v = 1/3r + 3
Now you can answer the question.
To be parallel, lines must have the same slope (but a different y-intercept). 3 and 1/3 are not the same, so the lines are not parallel.
To be perpendicular, one line must have the opposite reciprocal (fraction flipped and + goes to - or - to +) of the other. While 3 is the reciprocal of 1/3, they are both positive, so they are not perpendicular.
To be the same line, the equations must be absolutely identical, which they aren't.
This leaves the last option: neither.
