Answer:
use the slope equation (y2-y1) / (x2 -x1). plug in values and solve
(-1 -7) / (9 -(-3)) (subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive)
-8 / 12 (simplify)
m = -2/3
then, plug in one of the points and the slope into the slope-point equation.
(y - y1) = m (x - x1) (the point-slope form)
y - 7 = -2/3( x - (-3)) (plug in the slope and point 1 values, then solve)
y - 7 = -2/3x - 2 (add 7 to both sides)
y = 2/3x +5 (the answer)

Answer:
b) Commutative property is true for subtraction of Rational numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
- Option B is incorrect.
- Commutative property is not true for subtraction of Rational numbers .
The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.
The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.
