First, you have to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of this given line.
to do that, you need the slope of the perpendicular line and one point.
Step 1: find the slope of the given line segment. We have the two end points (10, 15) and (-20, 5), so the slope is m=(15-5)/(10-(-20))=1/3
the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, m=-3/1=-3
step 2: find the middle point: x=(-20+10)/2=-5, y=(15+5)/2=10 (-5, 10)
so the equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form is (y-10)=-3(x+5)
now plug in all the given coordinates to the equation to see which pair fits:
(-8, 19): 19-10=9, -3(-8+5)=9, so yes, (-8, 19) is on the perpendicular line.
try the other pairs, you will find that (1,-8) and (-5, 10) fit the equation too. (-5,10) happens to be the midpoint.
Answer:
x < -4 or x > 8
On a number line, make two arrows:
1) going towards left from -4 with an open circle at -4
2) going towards right from 8 with an open circle at 8
Step-by-step explanation:
l -4 +2x l -3 > 9
l -4 +2x l > 12
l 2x - 4 l > 12
2x - 4 > 12
2x > 16
x > 8
-2x + 4 > 12
-2x > 8
x < -4
On a number line, make two arrows:
1) going towards left from -4 with an open circle at -4
2) going towards right from 8 with an open circle at 8
E is the answer I am pretty sure.
