Multiply the common denominators
4/5(3/3)-1/3
4/5(3/3)-1/3(5/5)
4*3/15 - 1*5/15
4*3 - (1*5)/15

7/15

Hey there!

You have to find a common denominator. That is 15. So multiply 4/5 by 3 on the bottom and top to get 12/15. Multiply 1/3 by 5 to get 5/15. The equation is now 12/15-5/15. 12-5=7. You don’t change the denominator though, so the answer would be 7/15.

I hope this helps!

write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-1,1) and (7,-5)

gladu [14]

Find midpoint of segment.
(-1,1), (7,-5)
$x= \frac{-1+7}{2}=3,y= \frac{1+(-5)}{2}=-2$

Find slope of line which passes through (-1,1) and (7,-5).
$m= \frac{-5-1}{7-(-1)}= \frac{-6}{8}=- \frac{3}{4}$

The slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal value of m.
$m_{\perp}=- \frac{1}{m} =- \frac{1}{- \frac{3}{4} } = \frac{4}{3}$

Write quation of line which slope is $\frac{4}{3}$ and passes throug the point (3,-2).
$m=\frac{4}{3},x_1=3,y_1=-2
\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\y-(-2)=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)
\\
\\y+2=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}
\\
\\3y+6=4x-8
\\4x-3y-14=0$
