Okay so the gradient of the perpendicular line is -1/3 and then from there u have to solve for the y intercept. Substitute in 9 and -7 where -7 is y and 9 is x. The equation is y=-1/3x-4 :)

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope perpendicular to this, take the negative reciprocal of the slope. Basically, invert both the fraction and the negative/positive so that 3 becomes -1/3.

Now, using the new slope and the given point, we can find the y-intercept. Plug the 3 known variables into the equation:

y=mx+b\\-7=(-\frac{1}{3})(9)+b

Then, solve for b:

-7=-3+b\\-4=b\\b=-4\\

Finally, with both the slope and the y-intercept, you can write the equation of the line:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-4

Answer:

2/3 = 8/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3    vs 8/12

Multiply the left by 4/4 to get common denominators

2/3 *4/4 = 8/12

They are equal
