Answer:

-2/6

Step-by-step explanation:

rise/run

or

how much you go up/how much you go to the side

the line is going to the left making it negative

A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 most. One month later there were 132 most. Ready func

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$y=120 * 1.1^x$ --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$x \to months$

$y \to mice$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ --- Monday

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

$y=ab^x$

In $(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ , we have:

$120 = a * b^0$

$120 = a * 1$

$120 = a$

$a=120$

In $(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ , we have:

$132 = a * b^1$

$132 = a * b$

Substitute: $a=120$

$132 = 120 * b$

Solve for b

$b = \frac{132}{120}$

$b = 1.1$

So, the function is:

$y=ab^x$

$y=120 * 1.1^x$

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

$y =a(1 + r)^x$

Compare to: $y =ab^x$

$1 + r = b$

Make r the subject

$r = b-1$

Substitute $b = 1.1$

$r = 1.1-1$

$r = 0.1$

Express as percentage

$r = 0.1*100\%$

$r = 10\%$

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

TEA [102]

Answer:

y= -2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).

Let's find the gradient of the given line.

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 -y 2}{x1 - x2} }$

Gradient of given line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 5)}{3 - ( - 9)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{3 + 9}$

$= \frac{6}{12}$

$= \frac{1}{2}$

The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.

(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular bisector

= -1 ÷(½)

= -1(2)

= -2

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2}) }$

Midpoint of given line

$= ( \frac{3 - 9}{2} , \frac{1 - 5}{2} )$

$= ( \frac{ - 6}{2} , \frac{ - 4}{2} )$

$= ( - 3 , - 2)$

Substituting (-3, -2) into the equation:

-2= -2(-3) +c

-2= 6 +c

c= -2 -6 <em>(</em><em>-</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>on both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

c= -8

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -2x -8.
