Find midpoint of segment.
(-1,1), (7,-5)
x= \frac{-1+7}{2}=3,y= \frac{1+(-5)}{2}=-2

Find slope of line which passes through (-1,1) and (7,-5).
m= \frac{-5-1}{7-(-1)}= \frac{-6}{8}=- \frac{3}{4}

The slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal value of m.
m_{\perp}=- \frac{1}{m} =- \frac{1}{- \frac{3}{4} } = \frac{4}{3}

Write quation of line which slope is \frac{4}{3} and passes throug the point (3,-2).
m=\frac{4}{3},x_1=3,y_1=-2
\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\y-(-2)=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)
\\
\\y+2=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}
\\
\\3y+6=4x-8
\\4x-3y-14=0

Additive inverse of 400
Goshia [24]

Given:

A number is 400.

To find:

The additive inverse of 400.

Solution:

We know that the sum of a number and its additive inverse is 0.

If "a" is number and "b" is its additive inverse, then

a+b=0

Let x be the additive inverse of 400. Then,

400+x=0

Subtract both sides by 400.

400+x-400=0-400

x=-400

Therefore, the additive inverse of 400 is -400.

The point (2, –4) is reflected across the line y = –1. What are the coordinates of the image?
schepotkina [342]

ANSWER

The coordinates of the image are (2,2)

EXPLANATION

The mapping for a reflection across the line y=k is :

(x,y)\to (x,2k-y)

We want to find the image of the point (2,-4) after a reflection in the line y=-1.

In this case k=-1.

(2, - 4)\to (2,2( - 1)- - 4)

This simplifies to,

(2, - 4)\to (2, - 2 + 4)

(2, - 4)\to (2, 2)

Hence the image is (2,2)

Work out the formula for the nth term of the<br>quadratic sequence:<br>5, 11, 19, 29​
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n squared + 3n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5,11,19,29

Firstly look at the difference between each number. The first difference is 6 then 8 then 10 etc. After that you look at your created sequence - 6,8,10 etc. The difference is 2 each time. Then applying rules, you have to do the constant difference divided by 2 to get a coefficient of n squared. So in this case it's n squared because 2/2 = 1 so you don't have to place a 1 in front of the n squared. After you create a sequence from the n squared. That would be 1,4,9 etc. Then you need to see how to get from the sequence: 1,4,9 etc to your original sequence: 5,11,19 etc. So if you calculate it you will get 4,7,10 because firstly 5-1 = 4 then 11-4 = 7 etc. The sequence 4,7,10 is a linear sequence so the constant difference is 3 each time. So to get a nth term of a linear sequence you will start off as 3n then you will substitute 1 then 2 then 3 into the 3n. Therefore that would be 3,6 etc. So if you take the first substituted term, that would be 3 as said before then you will have to see how to get from the 3 to 4 so that is just adding 1. So the nth term of this linear sequence is 3n + 1. Check if it works at the end. So the overall nth term of the quadratic sequence is n squared as said before + 3n + 1.
