Answer:
To express the sum of two numbers using distributive property, we factor out the highest common factor (HCF) of the two numbers (i.e. the greatest number that can divide the two numbers without remainder)
28 = 2 x 2 x 7
42 = 2 x 3 x 7
The HCF of 28 and 42 is given by 2 x 7 = 14
Therefore, we express 28 + 42 using distributive property thus: 14(2 + 3)
point slope form is y=mx+ b
m is slope which is given as 1/2
replace x & y into the equation to solve for b
b = 6
so equation is y =1/2x+6
Given:
Line segment NY has endpoints N(-11, 5) and Y(3,-3).
To find:
The equation of the perpendicular bisector of NY.
Solution:
Midpoint point of NY is




Slope of lines NY is




Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So,


The perpendicular bisector of NY passes through (-4,1) with slope
. So, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is




Add 1 on both sides.

Therefore, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is
.
