Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A = (-3,8)$ and $B = (-5,4)$. The midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ is $\left( \frac{(-3) + (-5)}{2}, \frac{8 + 4}{2} \right) = (-4,6)$.

The slope of $\overline{AB}$ is $\frac{8 - 4}{(-3) - (-5)} = 2$, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{AB}$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$. Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is given by

\[y - 6 = -\frac{1}{2} (x + 4).\]Isolating $y,$ we find

\[y = -\frac{1}{2} x + 4.\]Therefore, $m+b = -\frac{1}{2} + 4 = \boxed{\frac{7}{2}}.$

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since Ax + By = 3 passes through (-7, 2), then if we plug -7 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation is satisfied. So, let's do that:

Ax + By = 3

A * (-7) + B * 2 = 3

-7A + 2B = 3

We also know that this line is parallel to x + 3y = -5, which means their slopes are the same. Let's solve for y in the second equation:

x + 3y = -5

3y = -x - 5

y = (-1/3)x - (5/3)

So, the slope of this line is -1/3, which means the slope of Ax + By = 3 is also -1/3. Let's solve for y in the first equation:

Ax + By = 3

By = -Ax + 3

y = (-A/B)x + 3/B

This means that -A/B = -1/3. So, we have a relationship between A and B:

-A/B = -1/3

A/B = 1/3

B = 3A

Plug 3A in for B into the equation we had where -7A + 2B = 3:

-7A + 2B = 3

-7A + 2 * 3A = 3

-7A + 6A = 3

-A = 3

A = -3

Use this to solve for B:

B = 3A

B = 3 * (-3) = -9

So, B = -9 and A = -3. Then B - A is:

B - A = -9 - (-3) = -9 + 3 = -6

The answer is -6.

Answer:

4.12

Step-by-step explanation:

A^2+b^2=c^2 so 8^2+b^2=9^2 so 64+b^2=81 so b^2=17 so b=4.12

In Erin's career on the basketball team, she made 7 out of every 10 free throws Last season, she
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: 42

For this situation we will use a ratio to show how many free throws Erin will make. Using the ratio 7:10 represents that Erin will make 7 out of every 10 free throws. You want to know how many free throws  she will make if she attempts 60 free throws.

Using ratios we will be able to find how many free throws she will make if she attempts 60.

7:10

14:20

21:30

28:40

35:50

42:60

Basically we kept multiply the right side of the ratio which is 10 by 2 until we were at 60 free throws.

Erin will make 42 free throws if she attempts 60 free throws.
