6 0

Answer: 14 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement: Let the first number be x and the second number be y , then x + 2y = 6.

From the second statement: 2x + y = 24

Combining the two equations , we have

x + 2y = 6 ......................... equation 1

2x + y = 24 ........................ equation 2

Solving simultaneously

x = 14 , y = -4

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of a line segment whose end points are (-3,9) and (-1,5)

timofeeve [1]

First find the equation of y.

$y=mx+n=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}x+n$

Find the slope m.

$m=\frac{5-9}{-1-3}=\frac{-4}{-4}=1$ .

Pick one point, I'll pick (-3, 9). Insert coordinates in equation then compute n.

$9=1(-3)+n\implies n=12$ .

The equation of a line y is:

$y=x+12$ .

The perpendicular line $y_{\perp}$ is same like the normal line except its slope m becomes:

$k=-\frac{1}{m}=-1$ .

The equation of a perpendicular bisector is thus:

$y_{\perp}=-x+12$ .

Hope this helps.
