<u>ANSWER</u>: The centroid is (1,3)


<u>Explanation:</u>

The centroid is the intersection of the medians of the triangle.

So we need to find the equation of any two of the medians and solve simultaneously.


Since the median is the straight line from one vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, we find the midpoint of any two sides.


We find the midpoint of AC using the formula;

N=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})



N=(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{1+2}{2})


N=(\frac{2}{2}, \frac{3}{2})


N=(1, \frac{3}{2})


The equation of the median passes through B(1,6) and N=(1, \frac{3}{2}).


This line is parallel to the y-axis hence has equation

x=1-------first median.



We also find the midpoint M of BC.

M=(\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{6+2}{2})


M=(\frac{6}{2}, \frac{8}{2})


M=(3, 4)


The slope of the median, AM is


Slope_{AM}=\frac{4-1}{3--3}


Slope_{AM}=\frac{3}{6}


Slope_{AM}=\frac{1}{2}


The equation of the median AM is given by;


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)


We use the point M and the slope of AM.


y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-3)


2y-8=(x-3)


2y-x=-3+8


2y-x=5-------Second median

We now solve the equation of the two medians simultaneously by putting x=1 in to the equation of the second median.


2y-1=5


2y=5+1


2y=6


y=3


Hence the centroid has coordinates (1,3)

The frequency table shows the results of tossing a number cube 50 times. Which statement
Paul [167]

Answer:

Option (1) is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given frequency table,

Option (1).

Tossing an even number is more likely than tossing an odd number.

Frequencies of tossing even numbers 2, 4, 6 = 10, 10, 9

Frequencies of tossing odd numbers 1, 3, 5 = 8, 6, 7

Which shows frequencies of tossing even numbers are more.

Therefore, Option (1) is correct.

Option (2)

The number 2 will be the next number tossed.

Since it is unpredictable, therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option (3)

Number 4 is half as likely to be tossed as the number 3.

Frequency of tossing number 3 = 6

Frequency of tossing 4 = 10

Frequency of tossing 3 is not the half of tossing 4.

Therefore, Option (3) is incorrect.

Option (4)

Probability of tossing the number 2 = \frac{\text{Frequency of tossing 2}}{\text{Total frequency}}

                                                           = \frac{10}{8+10+6+10+7+9}

                                                           = \frac{10}{50}

                                                           = \frac{1}{5}

Therefore, option (4) is incorrect.

PLEASE HELP ;)<br> Who did it right?<br><br> Find the slope of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=8
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Marissa.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find perpendicular slope you basically take the slope of the given line and reverse whatever sign it had previously. (If it was negative, it would become positive. If it was positive it would become negative.)

By doing -A/B it make the previous slope negative.

Brandon only flipped the fraction which would just result in the slope being slightly steeper, or in this case, less steep than the previous line, rather than making it perpendicular.

Hope this helps! Stay safe and if you have any questions feel free to ask!
