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}}

Zx and Zy are supplementary angles. Zy measures 108°,
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Zy = 108°

Zx = ?

We know

Zx + Zy = 180° {being supplementary angles }

Zx + 108° = 180°

Zx = 180° - 108°

Zx = 72°

Hope it will help :)

Joy Wigens, who works at Putnam Investments, received a check for $2,670. She deposited 1/3 of the check in her Citibank account
spin [16.1K]

Answer: $1,780

Step-by-step explanation:

Joy Wigens deposited 1/3 of the check of $2,670 that she received in her Citibank account.

The amount she deposited in her Citibank account was:

= 1/3 * 2,670

= $890

The amount she is left with after this deposit will therefore be:

= Check amount - deposit at Citibank

= 2,670 - 890

= $1,780
