Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment formed by:
(-4, 3) and (8, -3)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of perpendicular bisector is:

[tex]y = 2x-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-4, 3)(8, -3)

First, we need to find the midpoint of the points (-4, 3) and (8, -3)

[tex]\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(8,\:-3\right)[/tex]

[tex]=\left(\frac{8-4}{2},\:\frac{-3+3}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=\left(2,\:0\right)[/tex]

Thus, the midpoint of the points is: (2, 0)

Now, finding the slope between (-4, 3) and (8, -3)

[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(8,\:-3\right)[/tex]

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope m = -1/2

The slope of the line perpendicular to the segment = [-1] / [-1/2] = 2

Using the point-slope form of the equation of the line, the equation of perpendicular bisector is:

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]

where m is the slope of the line

substituting the slope 2 and the point (2, 0)

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]

[tex]y - 0 = 2 (x-2)[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x-2[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of perpendicular bisector is:

[tex]y = 2x-2[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The value of the expression 8 - I2g - 5I is -4 D

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value always gives a positive value IaI = a and I-aI = a

Let us solve the question

∵ The expression is 8 - I2g - 5I

∵ The value of g is g = -3.5

→ To find the value of the expression substitute g by -3.5

∵ 8 - I2g - 5I = 8 - I2(-3.5) - 5I

∴ 8 - I2g - 5I = 8 - I-7 - 5I

∴ 8 - I2g - 5I = 8 - I-12I

→ By using the rule above

I-12I = 12

∴ 8 - I2g - 5I = 8 - 12

8 - I2g - 5I = -4

The value of the expression 8 - I2g - 5I is -4

ABCD is a rectangle with sides 6 cm and
8 cm. If its diagonals cross at X, the length
of AX is​

Answers

Answer:

The length of AX is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a Rectangle

Given a rectangle of dimensions W by L (as shown in the image below), the diagonal D is the segment that joins two opposite corners of the rectangle.

The diagonals cross at the center of the rectangle in point X, thus the length of AX is half the length of the diagonal.

Note the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs W and L, thus:

[tex]D^2=W^2+L^2[/tex]

[tex]D^2=6^2+8^2[/tex]

[tex]D^2=36+64=100[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{100}=10[/tex]

The length of the diagonal is 10 cm, thus the required distance is AX=10/2 = 5 cm.

The length of AX is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Plan A:

Flat rate = $15

Cost per minute = 0.08

Let x = number of minutes

Total. Cost = flat fee + (per minute charge * number of minutes)

. Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour. Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour. How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.

= 10 - 2x

Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.

= 10 + 4x

Equating both Equations together

10 - 2x = 10 + 4x

10 - 10 = 4x - 2x

How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?

Carlos lives 5 3/8 blocks from a restaurant. The ball field is 7 1 /4 blocks away in the same direction. Carlos plans to go to the restaurant to​ eat, and then go to the ball field. After he​ eats, how much farther will he have to walk to get to the ball field​?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{15}{8}=1\dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance to the restaurant from Carlos is [tex]5\dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{43}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex]

Distance of the ball field from Carlos' home is [tex]7\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{29}{4}\ \text{blocks}[/tex]

He first goes to the restaurant so he covers a distance of [tex]\dfrac{43}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex].

Now the distance from the restaurant to the ball field is

[tex]\dfrac{29}{4}-\dfrac{43}{8}\\ =\dfrac{58-43}{8}\\ =\dfrac{15}{8}=1\dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex].

So, Carlos would have to walk [tex]1\dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex] farther to get to the ball field.

The net of a rectangular prism is shown below. What is the total surface area of the rectangular prism represented by this net?

Answers

Answer:

150.88 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism also known as cuboid is a three dimensional object with six rectangular faces and eight vertices. It is a prism because it has the same cross section along the length. It is called a rectangular prism because its cross section is rectangular.

The opposite faces of a rectangular prism are equal to each other.

The total surface area (TSA) of a rectangular prism is:

TSA = 2(wl + wh + lh)

where w is the width of the base, l is the length of the base and h is the height of the prism.

From the question, we can see that:

w = 5 cm, l = 7.4 cm and h = 3.1 cm. therefore:

TSA = 2(wl + wh + lh) = 2[(5 * 7.4) + (5 * 3.1) + (7.4 * 3.1)] = 2(37 + 15.5 + 22.94)

TSA = 2(75.44)

TSA = 150.88 cm²

14. x = 6, y = 8

15. x = 5, y = 7

16. x = 7, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parallelogram, the length across the point of intersection of its diagonals are equal.

So that;

14. PT = TR

    QT = TS

So that,

2x = y + 4

2x - y = 4 ...........1

x + 2 = y

x - y = -2 ............. 2

subtract equation 2 from 1,

x = 6

substitute the value of x in equation 1,

2 x 6 - y = 4

y = 12 - 4

  = 8

x = 6, y = 8

15. PT = TR

    QT = TS

x + 2 = y

x - y = -2 .......... 1

2x = y + 3

2x - y = 3 ......... 2

Subtract equation 1 from 2

x = 5

substitute the value of x in equation 1

5 - y = -2

5 + 2 = y

y = 7

x = 5, y = 7

16. PT = TR

    QT = TS

y = x + 3

x - y = -3 ......... 1

2y = 3x -1

3x - 2y = 1 ......... 2

Multiply equation 1 by 2 to have;

2x - 2y = -6 ....... 3

subtract equation 3 from 2

x = 7

substitute the value of x in equation 1

7 - y = -3

-y = -7 -3

-y = -10

multiply through by minus

y = 10

x = 7, y = 10

A cluster is a group of bars, meaning the frequency is higher in these intervals. A peak is a bar that is higher than the other bars around it. So a peak is where the frequency is highest. Intervals on a histogram where there are no bars means the frequency is 0. If the graph is symmetrical, then the data are evenly distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first find the amount of fence they would need in terms of x, which would be (x - 2) + (3x - 1) + (5x + 8) + (3x - 1) + (x - 2). Then, you know these add up to 106 so you get the equation:

[tex]x-2+3x-1+5x+8+3x-1+x-2 = 106[/tex]

Now, you just have to solve.

First, combine like terms

[tex]13x + 2 = 106[/tex]

Then, subtract 2 from both sides

[tex]13x = 104[/tex]

Next, divide both sides by 13.

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

The last step is to find the length of 5x + 8 by substituting x = 8 in

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.
3x + y = -9
y=5x+7

Answers

Answer:

The solution is x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation 3x + y = -9

Substitute the y for 5x+7 seen in the second equation

Now you have 3x + (5x+7) = -9

Lets solve:

Let's add the x's

Now we have 8x + 7 = -9

Substracy seven from each side

Now we have 8x = -16

Now let's divide 8 on each side

Now we have x = -2

Now lets plug in -2 to the second equation

The second equation is y = 5x+7

When we plug in -2 we get y=5(-2)+7

We multiply

We now have y = -10+7

Add

y = -3

The solution is x = -2, y = -3
