Question

rewrite \\(\frac{-4}{-3}\\) in lowest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{-4}{-3} = \frac{4}{3}$

Step2: Simplify the rational expression

First, note $z+4
eq 0$ (so $z
eq -4$). Cancel common factors:
$\frac{-4(z+4)}{-8(z+4)} = \frac{-4}{-8} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$
$\frac{1}{2}$ (where $z
eq -4$)
