These are the steps, with their explanations and conclusions:


1) Draw two triangles: ΔRSP and ΔQSP.


2) Since PS is perpendicular to the segment RQ, ∠ RSP and ∠ QSP are equal to 90° (congruent).


3) Since S is the midpoint of the segment RQ, the two segments RS and SQ are congruent.


4) The segment SP is common to both ΔRSP and Δ QSP.


5) You have shown that the two triangles have two pair of equal sides and their angles included also equal, which is the postulate SAS: triangles are congruent if any pair of corresponding sides and their included angles are equal in both triangles.


Then, now you conclude that, since the two triangles are congruent, every pair of corresponding sides are congruent, and so the segments RP and PQ are congruent, which means that the distance from P to R is the same distance from P to Q, i.e. P is equidistant from points R and Q

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-8, -8) and (-7, 9). Substitute to the formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{9-(-8)}{-7-(-8)}=\dfrac{17}{1}=17

Put the coordinates of the point (-7, 9) and the value of slope to the point-slope formula:

y-9=17(x-(-7))\\\\\boxed{y-9=17(x+7)}

Given the graph of a line y=−x. Write an equation of a line which is perpendicular and goes through the point (8,2).
Eduardwww [97]

When a line is perpendicular to another line, the slope is the negative reciprocal of the other line's slope. So in this case, the slope would be 1, since the negative reciprocal of -1 is 1/1 which is 1.

To find the y-intercept, you have to substitute the point (8,2) into y = mx + b

2 = 1(8) + b

b = -6

The equation is y = x - 6
