Hello! The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. This means that you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second x and y-coordinates. (-2, 3) is coordinate 1 and (4, -1) is coordinate 2. Let's find what each number would be.

-2 = x1
3 = y1
4= x2
-1 = y2

So then, we would set the formula up like this: -1 - 3/ 4 - (-2). Now, let's subtract. -1 - 3 is -4. 4 - (-2) is 6. -4/6 is -2/3 in simplest form. There. The slope of the line is -2/3.

Note: When you subtract a negative number, you are actually adding. So, if the expression is 4 - (-3), the answer is 7, because you add 3 to 4.

That would be (-1-3) / (4 - (-2))  = -4 / 6   = -2/3 Answer

Indicate the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and (2, -5).
PtichkaEL [24]
Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:

m=(-5-1)/(2-4)

m=-6/-2

m=3

Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1  in this case:

3m=-1

m=-1/3

So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting.  The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:

mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:

mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)

mp=(6/2, -4/2)

mp=(3,-2)

So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:

-2=(-1/3)3+b

-2=-3/3+b

-2=-1+b

-1=b

So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...

y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P

y=(-x-3)/3

Given two similar triangles, how does one use proportions to find the lengths of one of the sides of one of the triangles? Answe

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~<u>Hello There</u>!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ As they are similar triangles, there will be a scale factor between them. You may be given one pair of values on the triangle. Divide the larger value by the smaller value in order to find the scale factor between the triangles. For example, if the larger triangle has a length of 6cm and the smaller triangle has a length of 3cm, the scale factor would be 2. You would then multiply the given side by the scale factor to get the length.

URGENTLY NEED THIS ASAP PLZ TYSM
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

fifth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(x - 5) ≤ 6x + 18 ← distribute left side

- 2x + 10 ≤ 6x + 18 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 8x + 10 ≤ 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

- 8x ≤ 8

Divide both sides by - 8, reversing the sign as a result of dividing by a negative quantity, thus

x ≥ - 1
