In an arithmetic equation, there is no variable in the 'meat' of the equation(example: 5-5=0). In an algebraic equation, there is a variable in the meat of the equation(example: 5-x=0).
Hope this helps and please give brainliest!
Answer: Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the line perpendicular to y=1/5x−1. y=−5x−17
Xm=(2+2)/2=2
Ym=(1+4)/2=2.5
(2,2.5)
The answer is 1/(x+4)
Explanation:
You would factor out the denominator
So,
(X-4)(x+4)=x^2-16
So, x-4/(x+4)(x-4)
Then x-4 cancels each other out from the numerator and denominator
Leaving 1/x+4
