What is the solution to the inequality? X-7>-6

1 answer:

4 0

The equation is saying x minus 7 is greater than -6, so treat the inequality symbol just how you would with a normal =. So x-7=-6, you need to find x, so to find x you need to keep x alone. So you get rid of the -7, so to do that since it is a negative you add 7 to -6, so that would mean that x=1. Now you put the inequality symbol back. So now it's x>1. This is the solution, x is greater than 1, or x>1. Hope this helps

Calculate pt3 such that a line from pt1 to pt3 is perpendicular to the line from pt1 to pt2, and the distance between pt1 and pt

Leni [432]

Let the point_1 = p₁ = (1,4)
and      point_2 = p₂ = (-2,1)
and      Point_3 = p₃ = (x,y)

The line from point_1 to point_2 is L₁ and has slope = m₁
The line from point_1 to point_3 is L₂ and has slope = m₂
m₁ = Δy/Δx = (1-4)/(-2-1) = 1
m₂ = Δy/Δx = (y-4)/(x-1)
L₁⊥L₂ ⇒⇒⇒⇒ m₁ * m₂ = -1
∴ (y-4)/(x-1) = -1 ⇒⇒⇒ (y-4)= -(x-1)
(y-4) = (1-x) ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ equation (1)

The distance from point_1 to point_2 is d₁
The distance from point_1 to point_3 is d₂
d = $\sqrt{Δx^2+Δy^2}$
d₁ = $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2}$
d₂ = $\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}$
d₁ = d₂
∴ $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2} = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}$ ⇒⇒ eliminating the root
∴(-2-1)²+(1-4)² = (x-1)²+(y-4)²
(x-1)²+(y-4)² = 18
from equatoin (1) y-4 = 1-x
∴(x-1)²+(1-x)² = 18            ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ note: (1-x)² = (x-1)²
2 (x-1)² = 18
(x-1)² = 9
x-1 = $\pm \sqrt{9} = \pm 3$
∴ x = 4 or x = -2
∴ y = 1 or y = 7

Point_3 = (4,1) or (-2,7)

PQ is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about P. What are the coordinates of P' and Q'?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The co ordinates of P' is (-7,-2) and Q' is (-16, -8)

Explanation

PQ is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about P. It means P and P' are the same points.
