4(4x + 6) - 7 = 77 - 4x......distribute thru the parenthesis
16x + 24 - 7 = 77 - 4x ...simplify
16x + 17 = 77 - 4x ...addition property of equality....add 4x to both sides
16x + 4x + 17 = 77 ...subtraction property ...subtract 17 from both sides
16x + 4x = 77 - 17...combine like terms
20x = 60 ....division property....divide both sides by 20
x = 60/20
x = 3

Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by

LiRa [457]

Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by her sister (c). Emily Dickinson lived during the American Civil War, but she lived in her father's house in Amherst, Massachusetts. This area was not affected by the Civil War. She was fairly isolated as a poet and, as a result, the events of the Civil War did not play a major role in her poetry. She wrote mainly about the events in her direct environment, with no direct sense of the time in which she lived. Her world consisted of her own home and the surrounding countryside.

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (−1,1) and (7,−5)

icang [17]

The equation is $y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

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

So, the midpoint will be $(\frac{-1+7}{2} , \frac{1-5}{2} )\\\\$

= $(3,-2)$

It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.

Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
