Well the line that bisects RS, will cut RS in two equal halves, therefore, that line will cut RS perpendicularly at the midpoint of RS.

now, what the dickens is the midpoint of RS anyway?

\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
R&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
S&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}\qquad
%   coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{5-1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{5+6}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{midpoint}{\left(2~~,~~\frac{11}{2}  \right)}

so, we know that perpendicular line, will have to go through (2, 11/2)

now, a perpendicular line to RS, will have a negative reciprocal slope to it.  Well, what is the slope of RS anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{5-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{5+1}\implies -\cfrac{1}{6}

and let's check the reciprocal negative of that,

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad -\cfrac{1}{6}\\\\
slope=-\cfrac{1}{{{ 6}}}\qquad negative\implies  +\cfrac{1}{{{ 6}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies + \cfrac{{{ 6}}}{1}\implies 6

so, then, what's is the equation of a line whose slope is 6, and goes through 2, 11/2?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{11}{2}}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 6
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-\cfrac{11}{2}=6(x-2)
\\\\\\
y-\cfrac{11}{2}=6x-12\implies -6x+y=-12+\cfrac{11}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{standard form}}{-6x+y=-\cfrac{13}{2}}

Does Emiliano need more than 1 stick of butter or less than 1 stick of butter for the corn bread and the apple muffins?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Emilio needs less than 1 stick of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Emilio needs 1/2 stick of butter to make cornbread . He also needs 1/4 stick of butter to make apple muffins . Does Emilio need more than I stick of butter to make both recepes or less than 1 stick of butter ? How do you know?

Cornbread = 1/2 stick of butter

Apple muffins = 1/4 stick of butter

Total sticks of butter = cornbread + apple muffins

= 1/2 + 1/4

= (2+1) / 4

= 3/4 stick of butter

= 0.75 stick of butter

0.75 stick of butter is less than 1 stick of butter

Therefore,

Emilio needs less than 1 stick of butter

“Bishon needs to sell at least 0.3 of his Collin sports card to make room for new cards.is 3/20 of his collection enough? Explai
Darya [45]

Answer:

I dont know But maybe the answer is No

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 is 30% and if 1/10 is 10% then 2/20 must be 10% because 5% is 1/20

so maybe 3/20 is only 15%

I hope this helps :)

Sorry if it dosent i suck at explaining things ; - ;

Solve and show how you did 5 (x-1) + 3 = 13
Goryan [66]
5(x-1) + 3 = 13
5x - 5 + 3 = 13
5x -2 = 13
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3
