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.

If b is the midpoint of AC, which of the following choices is the value of x?
katrin [286]
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:

8x + 4 = 10x - 6

Solving for x:

4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)

So, x = 5, which is the second option given.

Write one problem using a dollar amount of $420 and a percent of 40%. Provide a solution to your problem. Please help I'm desper
luda_lava [24]
You could do :
Johnny was financing a limited editions Xbox One S. The price was $420 and he put down 40%. How much is left to be financed?
dp=420(40/100)=16800/100=168
then you would subtract 420-168 which would give you 252
;) good luck !!
