Answer:

y=-5x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find the midpoint of the points (-5,3) and (5,5).

(0,4) is the midpoint by the midpoint formula.

Next we find the slope of the 2 points.

2/10 or 1/5

To find the perpendicular bisector, we need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope, which is -5x. However, we want the line to pass through (0,4), so we make the y-intercept 4.

Therfore, the answer is y=-5x+4

A train leaves at 11.15 and arrives at its destination at 12.23. If the train travelled 95 km, what was it's average speed in km

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Average speed v = 83.8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Distance travelled = 95 km

Time taken t = 12.23 - 11.15 = 1 hour 8 minutes

t = 1 + 8/60 hours = 1.133 hours.

Average speed v = distance travelled/time taken

substituting the values;

v = 95 km ÷ 1.133 hours

Average speed v = 83.8 km/h

You have checked model income statements and estimate your payroll expense will be 36% of revenue. You expect sales to be $9,000

aksik [14]

Answer:

Budget annual payroll = $168,480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Expect sales per week = $9,000

Revenue over sales = 36% = 0.36

Find:

Budget annual payroll = ?

Computation:

Assume number of week per year = 52

⇒ Budget annual payroll = Expect sales per week × Number of week per year × Revenue over sales

⇒ Budget annual payroll = $9,000 × 52 × 0.36

⇒ Budget annual payroll = $168,480
