Answer:

y = -4x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given segment has a rise if 1 for a run of 4, so a slope of ...

m = rise/run = 1/4

The desired perpendicular has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:

m = -1/(1/4) = -4

A point that has a rise of -4 for a run of 1 from the given midpoint is ...

(-1, -2) +(1, -4) = (0, -6) . . . . . . . the y-intercept of the bisector

So, our perpendicular bisector has a slope of m=-4 and a y-intercept of b=-6. Putting these in the slope-intercept form equation, we find the line to be ...

y = mx +b

y = -4x -6

The scale map shows that 5 centimeters =2 kilometers.What number of centimeters on the map represents an actual distance of 5 ki

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Therefore 12.5 centimeters on the map represents an actual distance of 5 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The scale map shows that

5 centimeters =2 kilometers.

To Find:

What number of centimeters on the map represents an actual distance of 5 kilometers?

Solution:

Let 'x' cm be on the map to represent 5 kilometer.

Given:

5 centimeters = 2 kilometers.

Therefore,

x cm = 5 kilometer

Soon Equality of proportion we get

$\dfrac{5}{x}= \dfrac{2}{5}\\ \\x=\dfrac{5\times 5}{2}=\dfrac{25}{2}=12.5\ cm\\\\\therefore x = 12.5\ cm$

Therefore 12.5 centimeters on the map represents an actual distance of 5 kilometers.
