Distance along the x is 4 - 1 = 3
distance along the y is 8 - 2 = 6
using Pythagoras: 3^2 + 6^2 = 27
square root of 27 = 5.196 = 5.2 to nearest tenth

Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line, through the given point.

exis [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y + 7 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of line, in point-slope form, is given by:

$y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)$

In which m is the slope and the point is $(x_0, y_0)$

Perpendicular lines:

If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Through (9,-7)

This means that $x_0 = 9, y_0 = -7$

$y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)$

$y - (-7) = m(x - 9)$

$y + 7 = m(x - 9)$

Perpendicular to y = 3x + 4

This line has slope 3, so:

$3m = -1$

$m = -\frac{1}{3}$

Thus

$y + 7 = m(x - 9)$

$y + 7 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 9)$

In ΔABC, point M is the midpoint of side AB and point D is the midpoint of segment MC. Prove that the area of ΔADC= the area of

Anna11 [10]

A line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is a "median". A median divides the area of the triangle in half, as it divides the base in half without changing the altitude.
AAMC is half AABC. AADC is half AAMC, so is 1/4 of AABC. (By the formula for area of a triangle.)
ABMC is half AABC. ABMD is half ABMC, so is 1/4 of AABC. (By the formula for area of a triangle.)
Then, AADC = 1/4 AABC = ABMC, so AADC = ABMC by the transitive property of equality.
