equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4)

Perpendicular bisector lies at the midpoint of a line

Lets find mid point of  (-9,-8) and (7,-4)

midpoint formula is

\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

\frac{-9+7}{2} ,\frac{-8+-4}{2}

midpoint is (-1, -6)

Now find the slope of the given line

(-9,-8) and (7,-4)

slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{-4-(-8)}{7-(-9)}

slope = \frac{-4+8}{7+9}= \frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}

Slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal of slope of given line

So slope of perpendicular line is -4

slope = -4  and midpoint is (-1,-6)

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y - (-6) = -4(x-(-1))

y + 6 = -4(x+1)

y + 6 = -4x -4

Subtract 6 on both sides

y = -4x -4-6

y= -4x -10

equation for the perpendicular Bisector y = -4x - 10

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The number of seashells he have in his collection all together is <u>140</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Stanley has a collection of seashells. He found 35% of his collection on Florida beaches.

Stanley has 49 seashells from Florida.

Now, to find the number of seashells of his collection altogether.

Let the number of seashells all together be x.

Percentage of seashells found on Florida beaches = 35%.

Number of seashells found on Florida beaches = 49.

Now, to get the number of seashells altogether we put an equation:

35\%\ of\ x=49.

⇒ \frac{35}{100} \times x=49

⇒ 0.35\times x=49

⇒ 0.35x=49

Dividing both sides by 0.35 we get:

⇒ x=140.

Therefore, the number of seashells he have in his collection all together is 140.
