A line <u>bisector</u> is a <em>straight </em>line that <u>divides</u> a given line into two equal parts. Thus the following steps are required by Naomi to show that point D is <em>equidistant</em> from points  A and C.

BD ⊥ AC (given)

BD = 3 units, and AC = 8 units.

BD is the <em>perpendicular</em> bisector of <u>segment</u> AC (given)

Thus,

<BDA  ≅ <BDC <em>(right</em> angles formed by a <u>perpendicular</u> bisector)

AD ≅ DC <em>(equal</em> parts of a<em> bisected l</em>ine)

AD ≅ DC = 4 units

Thus joining <u>points</u> B to A, and B to C,

BA ≅ BC.

So that applying <em>Pythagoras</em> theorem to ΔABD, we have:

/hyp/^{2} = Adj 1^{2} + Adj 2^{2}

AB^{2} = 3^{2} + 4^{2}

       = \sqrt{25}

 AB      = 5 units

So that,

BA ≅ BC = 5 units

Therefore, it can be <u>concluded</u> that point D is <em>equidistant</em> from points A and C.

Find the indicated products.<br> (3x-5)(3x+5)
frutty [35]
9x²- 25


3x(3x) = 9x²
3x(5) = 15x
-5(3x) = -15x
-5(5) = -25
9x² + 15x - 15x - 25
9x² - 25 is your answer

AlexFokin [52]
We are given with the coordinates of one of the points of a line which is
(1,2)
In order to generate an equation of a line, we need at least one other point or the slope of the line. If we are given with the slope of line, we can use the point slope form which is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
substituting
y - 2 = m(x - 1)
