Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of a line segment whose end points are (-3,9) and (-1,5)

Answers

Answer 1

First find the equation of y.

[tex]y=mx+n=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}x+n[/tex]

Find the slope m.

[tex]m=\frac{5-9}{-1-3}=\frac{-4}{-4}=1[/tex].

Pick one point, I'll pick (-3, 9). Insert coordinates in equation then compute n.

[tex]9=1(-3)+n\implies n=12[/tex].

The equation of a line y is:

[tex]y=x+12[/tex].

The perpendicular line [tex]y_{\perp}[/tex] is same like the normal line except its slope m becomes:

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

The equation of a perpendicular bisector is thus:

[tex]y_{\perp}=-x+12[/tex].

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x + 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given points, first find the slope:

m = (₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

   = (5 - 9) / (-1 - (-3))

   = -4 / 2

    = -2

Find y-intercept by using anyone of the give points and slope from above:

y = mx + b

5 = -2(-1) + b

5 = 2 + b

b = 3

With the m and b, you can make equation of line:

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 3

To find the perpendicular slope, make it opposite and inverse it.

m = -2 becomes 1/2

Regular equation of line:

y = -2x + 3

Perpendicular equation of line:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x + 3[/tex]

Jenise throws a ball 75 times and hits the target 41 times. What is the experimental probability that she will hit the target? State your answer as a percent.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the required outcome to the total possible outcome

Total outcome = 75

Number of times target was hit (expected outcome) = 41

Pr(she will hit target)= 41/75

Next is to state in percent and u do that by multiplying the resulting fraction by 100

41/75 i n percent.

41/75×100

= 4100/75

= 54.67%

Hence the answer in percentage is 54.67%

Suppose that a family wants to increase the size of the garden which is currently 16 feet long and 8 feet wide without changing the basic shape of the garden. That is, the family wants to ensure that the length of the garden remains twice the width (see figure).

1. Write an equation for the area of the new garden.
2. Write an equation that calculates how much more area the new garden will have as compared to the current garden. Simplify the equation into a quadratic equation in standard form.
3. Using the equation from Exercise 2, determine what effect increasing the width of the garden by two feet will have on the length of the garden and the total area of the garden.
4. Using the equation from Exercise 2 and factoring, determine how much the width of the garden will need to be increased in order for the garden area to be 160 square feet larger than its original area.
5. Using the equation from Exercise 2 and factoring, determine how much the width of the garden will need to be increased in order for the garden area to be four times its original area.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of the garden

16 feet and 8 feet

New dimensions of the garden

16 + 2x and 8 + x

1. The area of the new garden

(16 + 2x)(8 + x) = 2x^2 + 32x + 128

2. The difference in area

2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 = 2x^2 + 32x

3. x= 2 effect on the area

2*2^2 + 32*2 = 8 + 64 =72 ft²

4. Area difference = 160

2x^2 + 32x = 160x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0Solving we get positive root of 4 ft

5. Area difference = 4 times

2x^2 + 32x = 128*32x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0x^2 + 16x - 192= 0Solving we get positive root of 8 ft

M=−8j−9k+9 solve for k?

Answers

Answer:

k= -8/9j+ -1/9m+ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for k.

m=−8j−9k+9

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−8j−9k+9=m

Step 2: Add 8j to both sides.

−8j−9k+9+8j=m+8j

−9k+9=8j+m

Step 3: Add -9 to both sides.

−9k+9+−9=8j+m+−9

−9k=8j+m−9

Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.

-9k/-9= 8j+m-9/-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

n=-20/133

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by −4n+1.

8n−2+5(25n−8)=−62

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 25n−8.

8n−2+125n−40=−62

Combine 8n and 125n to get 133n.

133n−2−40=−62

Subtract 40 from −2 to get −42.

133n−42=−62

Add 42 to both sides.

133n=−62+42

Add −62 and 42 to get −20.

133n=−20

Divide both sides by 133.

n=-20/133

Fraction −20/133≈−0.15037594 can be rewritten as −20/133 ≈−0.15037594 by extracting the negative sign.

n=−20/133

Answer:

The region of the [tex]|x|<5[/tex] is the common area between -5 and 5.

But there is no common area for the solution of [tex]|x|>5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two modulus functions:

[tex]1.\ |x|<5\\2.\ |x|>5[/tex]

Let us have a look at the definition of modulus function first:

[tex]|x|=\left \{ {-{x}\ if\ x<0 \atop {x}\ if\ x>0} \right.[/tex]

Now, solving the above given modulus functions one by one using the definition of modulus function.

Solution 1 :

[tex]\pm x <5\\\Rightarrow x<5, -x<5\\OR\\\Rightarrow x<5, x>-5[/tex]

Kindly refer to the attached diagram for solution.

The area shaded in the green color shows the solution for this equation.

Solution 2 :

[tex]\pm x >5\\\Rightarrow x>5, -x>5\\OR\\\Rightarrow x>5, x<-5[/tex]

Kindly refer to the attached diagram for solution.

The area shaded in the blue color shows the solution for this equation.

We can clearly observe that the region of the first equation is the common area between -5 and 5.

But there is no common area for the solution of the second equation.

Therefore, solution of [tex]|x|<5[/tex] has intersection and

solution of [tex]|x|>5[/tex] has union.

Answer:

The solution of |x|<5 is the set of numbers that makes both of two inequalities true. The solution of |x|>5 is the set of numbers that makes either of two inequalities true.

Answer:

The two bowling alleys cost the same when there are 10 people in the group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bustlin' Bowling first:

$35 base price and then $2 for each person. You can model that with b = 35 + 2x where b is the price and x is the guest number.

Grand Entertainment next:

$20 base price and then $3.50 for each person. You can model that with g = 20 + 3.5x where g is the price and x is the guest number.

So the question asks for the number of people (or what's x) that makes the cost of both bowling places equal.

In variables, it's asking when b = g, what is x?

Starting with b = g, we can replace those with the actual equations. If b = 35 + 2x and g = 20 + 3.5x, then b = g is the same as 35 + 2x = 20 + 3.5x.

I think you know how to solve that (because the trickiest part is usually translating the words into a solvable equation) but in case you don't, here's how:

35 + 2x = 20 + 3.5x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

35 = 20 + 3.5x - 2x

35 = 20 + 1.5x

Subtract 20 from both sides.

35 - 20 = 1.5x

15 = 1.5x

Divide both sides by 1.5.

15/1.5 = 1.5x/1.5

10 = x

Sooo, the answer is 10 people.
