To divide the two ordered pairs \((12, -3)\) and \((-3, 2)\) as a fraction, we can interpret this as dividing the corresponding components of the pairs.
This gives us:
\[ \frac{(12, -3)}{(-3, 2)} = \left( \frac{12}{-3}, \frac{-3}{2} \right) \]
Calculating each component:
-
For the first component: \[ \frac{12}{-3} = -4 \]
-
For the second component: \[ \frac{-3}{2} = -\frac{3}{2} \]
So, the result of dividing the two ordered pairs is:
\[ \left( -4, -\frac{3}{2} \right) \]
Therefore, \((12, -3) / (-3, 2) = (-4, -\frac{3}{2})\).
