Points (1, 7)  and  (-3, 2)

Slope for a line between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) , m = (y₂ -y₁) / (x₂- x₁)

The slope for the line joining the two points =  (2 - 7) / (-3 - 1) = -5/-4

Slope = 5/4

Hence the perpendicular bisector would have a slope of -1/(5/4) = -4/5

By condition of perpendicularity

For points (1, 7)  and  (-3, 2),

Formula for midpoints for (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁ +x₂)/2 , (y₁+ y₂)/2)

Midpoint for (1, 7)  and  (-3, 2) = ((1+ -3)/2 , (7+2)/2) = (-2/2, 9/2)

= (-1, 9/2)

Since the slope of perpendicular bisector is -4/5 and passes through the midpoint (-1, 9/2)

Equation  y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

                y - 9/2 = (-4/5) (x - -1)
           
                y - 9/2 = (-4/5)(x + 1)

               5(y - 9/2) = -4(x + 1)

               5y - 45/2 = -4x - 4

                 5y =  -4x - 4 + 45/2
           
                5y + 4x = 45/2 - 4

                  5y + 4x = 22  1/2  - 4 =  18 1/2

                  5y + 4x =  37/2

                  10y + 8x = 37

The equation of the line to perpendicular bisector is 10y + 8x = 37

Isaac buys 17 anti-pollution masks for £5.25 each.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A) Isaac should get £ 10.75 in change.

B) The price of the e-scooter in the sale is £ 366.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given that Isaac buys 17 anti-pollution masks for £ 5.25 each, and he pays with five £ 20 notes, to determine how much change Isaac should get, the following calculation must be performed:

(20 x 5) - (17 x 5.25) = X

100 - 89.25 = X

10.75 = X

So Isaac should get £ 10.75 in change.

B) Given that the normal price of an e-scooter is £ 370 and, in a sale, there is 1 off the normal price of the e-scooter, to determine the price of the e-scooter in the sale the following calculation must be performed:

370 - (370 x 0.01) = X

370 - 3.7 = X

366.3 = X

Thus, the price of the e-scooter in the sale is £ 366.3.
