The expression for the number of segments drawn out of the n number of points in the circle is,
n² / 2 - n / 2
Substituting directly to the expression the number of points, n, which is equal to 8,
8² / 2 - 8 / 2 = 28
Thus, there are 28 segments that can be drawn from the points.
Answer: k = -1 +/- √769
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
48x - ky = 11
<u>-48x </u> <u> -48x</u>
-ky = -48x + 11
Slope:
*************************************************************************
(k + 2)x + 16y = -19
<u>- (k + 2)x </u> -<u>(k + 2)x </u>
16y = -(k + 2)x - 19
Slope:
**********************************************************************************
and are perpendicular so they have opposite signs and are reciprocals of each other. When multiplied by its reciprocal, their product equals -1.
* = -1
= 1
Cross multiply, then solve for the variable.
(k + 2)(k) = 16(48)
k² + 2k - 768 = 0
Use quadratic formula to solve:
k = -1 +/- √769
