Answer:

Part 1) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB is y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}

Part 2) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC is y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}

Part 3) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC is y=-3x+4

Part 4) The coordinates of the point P(0.091,3.727)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB

we have

A(–2, 0), B(0, 8)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AB

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{8-0}{0+2}

m=4

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AB

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

m=-\frac{1}{4}

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

substitute the values

M(\frac{-2+0}{2},\frac{0+8}{2})

M(-1,4)

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AB

the slope is m=-\frac{1}{4}

passes through the point (-1,4)

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

substitute

4=(-\frac{1}{4})(-1)+b

solve for b

b=4-\frac{1}{4}

b=\frac{15}{4}

so

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}

Part 2) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC

we have

B(0, 8) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope BC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{2-8}{4-0}

m=-\frac{3}{2}

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side BC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

m=\frac{2}{3}

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

substitute the values

M(\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{8+2}{2})

M(2,5)

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of BC

the slope is m=\frac{2}{3}

passes through the point (2,5)

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

substitute

5=(\frac{2}{3})(2)+b

solve for b

b=5-\frac{4}{3}

b=\frac{11}{3}

so

y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}

Part 3) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC

we have

A(–2, 0) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{2-0}{4+2}

m=\frac{1}{3}

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

m=-3

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

substitute the values

M(\frac{-2+4}{2},\frac{0+2}{2})

M(1,1)        

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AC

the slope is m=-3

passes through the point (1,1)

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

substitute

1=(-3)(1)+b

solve for b

b=1+3

b=4

so

y=-3x+4

Part 4) Find the coordinates of the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (P)

we know that

The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is called the circumcenter.

Solve by graphing

using a graphing tool

the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is P(0.091,3.727)

see the attached figure

Answer:

Line CDE is a straight line,

so 85°+70°=55°

180°-55°=25°

angle BDA=25°

25°+85°=110°

180°-110°=70°

angle CDF=70°

pet store inc found that they were selling more guinea pigs and fewer birds. in 2010, they had 42 birds in stock, and in 2011, t
navik [9.2K]
Answer=19.05% decrease 

    42 birds          34 birds
___________=__________
 100percent        x percent

cross multiply
42x=3400
divide both sides by 42
x=80.95 percent

The inventory in 2011 is 80.95% the inventory in 2010

100-80.95=19.05% decrease

Geometry question please help meeee
garik1379 [7]
Answers:
Scale factor is 8:5
Area ratio is 64:25
Volume ratio is 512:125

=================================================

Explanation:

Divide the second surface area (375) over the first surface area (960) to get
375/960 = 0.390625
Then take the square root of this to get
sqrt(0.390625) = 0.625
The decimal value 0.625 converts to the fraction 5/8, which turns into the scale factor 8:5 

-----------------

Once you know the scale factor, you can square both sides to get the area ratio
8:5
8^2:5^2
64:25

The area ratio is 64:25

Then go back to the scale factor, and cube each part to get the volume ratio
8:5
8^3:5^3
512:125

The volume ratio is 512:125

What is the relation between the variables in the equation x=-3/y
Amiraneli [1.4K]
The relation between the variables x and y is inverse. As y increases, the value of x decreases instead. Also, when the value of y decreases, the value of x increases. This variation is called indirect proportion. The opposite is called the direct variation.
