Write the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and (2, -5)

Sedbober [7]

Answer: $\bold{y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(4, 1) & (2, -5)

First, find the slope (m) and then the perpendicular (opposite reciprocal) slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\m=\dfrac{-5-1}{2-4} = \dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\quad \rightarrow \quad m_{\perp}=-\dfrac{1}{3}\\$

Next, find the midpoint of (4, 1) and (2, -5):

$Midpoint=\bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{4+2}{2},\dfrac{1-5}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{6}{2},\dfrac{-4}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=(3, -2)$

Lastly, input the perpendicular slope and the midpoint into the Point-Slope formula to find the equation of the line:

$y - y_1 = m_{\perp}(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-2) = -\dfrac{1}{3}(x - 3)\\\\y + 2=-\dfrac{1}{3}x +1\\\\y =-\dfrac{1}{3}x - 1\\$

Deer ticks can be carriers of either Lyme disease or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). Based on a recent study, suppose tha

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

0.2364

Step-by-step explanation:

We will take

Lyme = L

HGE = H

P(L) = 16% = 0.16

P(H) = 10% = 0.10

P(L ∩ H) = 0.10 x p(L U H)

Using the addition theorem

P(L U H) = p(L) + P(H) - P(L ∩ H)

P(L U H) = 0.16 + 0.10 - 0.10 * p(L u H)

P(L U H) = 0.26 - 0.10p(L u H)

We collect like terms

P(L U H) + 0.10P(L U H) = 0.26

This can be rewritten as:

P(L U H)[1 +0.1] = 0.26

Then we have,

1.1p(L U H) = 0.26

We divide through by 1.1

P(L U H) = 0.26/1.1

= 0.2364

Therefore

P(L ∩ H) = 0.10 x 0.2364

The probability of tick also carrying lyme disease

P(L|H) = p(L ∩ H)/P(H)

= 0.1x0.2364/0.1

= 0.2364

The number 46 comma 462 comma 555 46,462,555 rounded to the nearest million is

Nataliya [291]

The nearest million is 46 million since if the number to the right of "nearest so and so" is less than 5, you round down but if it is 5 or more then you round up.
Hope this helps!
