12) \( \frac{9^{3} \times b^{8}}{9^{2} \times b^{5}}= \)

Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression. Simplify the res \( \log _{3} \frac{\sqrt{x} \sqrt[3]{y}}{w} \sqrt{z} \) Choose the correct answer. A. \( -\frac{1}{2} \log _{3} x-\frac{1}{3} \log _{3} y+5 \log _{3} w+\frac{1}{2} \log _{3} z \) B. \( \frac{1}{2} \log _{3} x+\frac{1}{3} \log _{3} y-5 \log _{3} w-\frac{1}{2} \log _{3} z \) C. \( { }^{2} \log _{3} x+3 \log _{3} y-5 \log _{3} w-2 \log _{3} z \) D. This cannot be simplified.

Consider the line \( y=\frac{5}{2} x-3 \). Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point \( (2,-5) \). Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (2, -5). Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator may be helpful in checking your answer. Equation of perpendicular line:
