How do i get the answer for 2/3 * 10/3

2 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

2        10

*

3           3

Multiply the numerators

2* 10 = 20

Multiply the denominators

3*3

Put the numerator over the denominator

20/9

Change this from an improper fraction to a mixed number

9 goes into 20 2 times

2*9 = 18  with 2 left over (20-18 = 2)

2 2/9

We can rearrange the initial equation to y=mx+b

y=2x-5

Since perpendicular slopes must equal -1,
x=the perpendicular slope
2x=-1
x=-1/2

(Or you can just take the negative reciprocal above is just the "formula form" for it)

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is -1/2
