Answer:
y= -2x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).
Let's find the gradient of the given line.
Gradient of given line
The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.
(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1
Gradient of perpendicular bisector
= -1 ÷(½)
= -1(2)
= -2
Substitute m= -2 into the equation:
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.
Midpoint of given line
Substituting (-3, -2) into the equation:
-2= -2(-3) +c
-2= 6 +c
c= -2 -6 <em>(</em><em>-</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>on both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
c= -8
Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -2x -8.

Answer:
x = 8/7
Step-by-step explanation:
.2(.7x-5)+0.2=1.4(x-1.6) . . . . given
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.14x -1 +0.2 = 1.4x -2.24
1.44 = 1.26x . . . . . . . add 2.24-0.14x to both sides
x = 1.44/1.26 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x = 8/7 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify the fraction
__
As a repeating decimal, the value of x is ...
However, the notation 1.(142857) is usually reserved for the case where the contents of parentheses are being multiplied by the factor in front. You would need to consult your instructions to see how the decimal version of the answer should be entered. (Quite often, rounding is suggested.)
