Answer:

y=-0.8x-4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A(-6,-4), B(-2,1)

we know that

The perpendicular bisector pass through the midpoint of AB

step 1

Find the midpoint AB

M=((-6-2)/2,(-4+1)/2)

M=(-4,-1.5)

step 2

Find the slope of the given line AB

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute

m=\frac{1+4}{-2+6}

m=\frac{5}{4}

step 3

Find the slope of the perpendicular bisector

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then  the product of their slopes is equal to -1

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=\frac{5}{4}  ----> slope of the given line

substitute in the formula

\frac{5}{4}*m2=-1

m2=-\frac{4}{5}=-0.8

step 4

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector

we know that

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-0.8

M=(-4,-1.5)

substitute

y+1.5=-0.8(x+4)

y=-0.8x-3.2-1.5

y=-0.8x-4.7

Since it is given that Boris takes x minutes to run 5 miles it means that Boris' speed will be given as: \frac{5}{x}.

Now, if Dylan runs slower than Boris and takes 12 more minutes to complete the 5 miles run, then that would mean that Dylan takes (x+12) minutes to complete the same run.

In this case we can see the Dylan's speed will be \frac{5}{x+12}.

Thus, the denominator represents the time Dylan takes to run 5 miles if he takes 12 minutes more than Boris.

Therefore, out of the given options, the second option is the correct option.

Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain

4. Read this sentence from the selection.

“Whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood.”

In this sentence the word dogmatic is used as —

• an insightful simile
• a descriptive metaphor
• a humorous play on words
• an illuminating allusion


5. In the last paragraph the narrator says his mother would “fetch out a long word.” The connotations of the word fetch remind the reader that the narrator’s mother —

• is well educated
• is a dog
• knows lots of big words
• likes to show off


8. What is ironic about the author’s mother showing off with her knowledge of the word unintellectual?

• Her child knew she didn’t understand the word correctly.

• The strangers all already knew the meaning of the word.

• As any intellectual would know, the word should be “nonintellectual.”

• She did not know any synonyms for the word.


9. Which type of person is most like the author’s mother?

• A high-performing student with an excellent memory for words

• A very verbal person who always has a quick answer that sounds good

• A dishonest person who tells lies on a regular basis

• A person who likes dogs a lot and works at a veterinary clinic

Which of the following describes the translation of the graph of y = x2 to obtain the graph of y = -x2 - 3?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

reflections across the x axis and a shift down 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2

The negative sign means  it is a reflection across the x axis y = −f(x)

y = -x^2

The subtraction of 3 means we are shifting down 3 units

y = -x^2 -3
