Which equation is a line of symmetry for the graph shown

Mathematics

For a line, a symmetric line is any perpendicular line to it, because if you drop a perpendicular line, the line on one side is just a reflection of the other side.

so, in short, what is a likely equation of a line perpendicular to that one?

well, what's the slope of the line on the graph anyway?  well, notice, we have a point of (-3,-4), let's pick another point on the line to get its slope, hmmm say (0,8),

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad 
(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8})
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{8-(-4)}{0-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{8+4}{0+3}\implies \cfrac{12}{3}\implies 4

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{\stackrel{slope}{4\implies \cfrac{4}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{4}}}

so, a line whose slope is -1/4 is a likely line of symmetry for that line, since it'd be a perpendicular line to it, and since you know your slope-intercept forms, you know which one that is.

Un escalador sube 225m de altura. El asenso lo hizo en 3 etapas. En la primera subio un quinto en la, en la tercera un cuarto. ¿
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Segunda etapa= 123.75 metros

Step-by-step explanation:

Altura total= 225 metros

<u>En la primera estapa subió el 20% (un quinto):</u>

Primera etapa= 225*0.2= 45 metros

<u>En la tercera etapa subió 25% (un cuarto):</u>

Tercera etapa= 225*0.250 56.25 metros

Ahora debemos determinar cuánto subió en la segunda etapa:

Segunda etapa= altura total - total subido

Segunda etapa= 225 - (45 + 56.25)

Segunda etapa= 123.75 metros

The Width of a rectangular Park is 10 metres shorter than its length.if the area of the park is 236 square metre find its length
madam [21]

Answer:

let length be l

breadth=l-10m

area of rectangular park=236m²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangular park=236m²

l×(l-10)=236

l²-10l-236=0

l²-2.l.5+5²-236-5²=0

(l-5)²-236-25=0

(l-5)²=261

(l-5)=√261

(l-5)=16.15

l=16.15+5=21.15

b=l-10=21.15-10=11.15
