Compare and contrast angle bisector and perpendicular bisector

1 answer:

3 0

Angle Bisector: cuts an angle into two different congruent or equal angles.

Perpendicular Bisector: Are two lines that meet to form right angles at the midpoint of a line.

They are different because only one cuts angles and the other one cuts line segments.

They are similar or alike because they both bisect something in a triangle.

Graph a right triangle with the two points 4,5 and -4,8

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write points using parentheses: (4, 5) and (-4, 8}.

(4, 5) is in the 1st quadrant and (-4, 8} is in the 2nd. Reversing the order of these two points yields (-4, 8) and (4, 5). From this we can see that while moving from (-4, 8) to (4, 5) involves following a line with negative slope (because the y-coordinate decreases from 8 to 5 as the x-coordinate increases from -4 to +4). This sloping line is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Draw a vertical line segment through (-4, 8) and a horizontal line segment through (4, 5). This hypotenuse, the vertical line segment and the horizontal line segment are the boundaries of the desired right triangle.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular<br> to a line with a slope of -⅓

kumpel [21]

Answer:

3/1, or 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a perpendicular line, if it is a negative, you take away the negative, and if it is a fraction, you turn it upside down. 1/3 becomes 3/1.

What is the answer <br> Need quick <br> Help

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because for example the first number for x=3 and y= 5. So add 3+2=5. If you add 2 to x, you equal y.

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3) and is perpendicular to the line with the equation 3x + 4y ? 8

MrRissso [65]

I'm assuming that ? is a minus sign
3x+4y-8=0

a.
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
ok
for ax+by-c=0
the slope is -a/b
so
3x+4y-8=0
slope=-3/4

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
-3/4 times what=-1
times both sides by -4/3
what=4/3

the slope is 4/3

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept

y=4/3x+b
we are given the point (2,3)
x=2 and y=3
3=4/3(2)+b
3=8/3+b
3-8/3=b
9/3-8/3=b
1/3=b

y=4/3x+1/3 is the equation

b. the slope is 4/3

c. the y intercept is 1/3

d. see attachment
