To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.
The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3
We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3
The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.
Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.
2 = 1/3(1) + b.
Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3
Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.
y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.
Your solution should be 5.
So your answer is: a = 5
If C is the MIDPOINT of BD, and BD equals 12, then what does CD equal?
AD = AC+CD, so you only need to find length of CD and add length of AC (which you already have) to it.
Hope this helps
It is 8x-5 you replace the variable y with 3 in the expression

Answer:
4(x+1)/(4x+5)
4(x+1)/(5-4x)
4(x-(-1))/(4x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The numerators in the fractions must equal to 0, or else the expressions won’t have the result of 0.
4(x+1)
4(-1+1)
4(0)
= 0
4(x-(-1))
4(-1-(-1))
4(-1+1)
4(0)
= 0
The expressions with the numerator as 0 have the result of 0.
