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

There are 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon how many cups in a 5 gallon jug of water
Marysya12 [62]
80 cups in a 5 gallon jug of water.

1 quart has 4 cups
1 gallon has 4 quarts
1 gallon = 4 quarts * 4 cups = 16 cups

5 gallons = has 80 cups of water.

(4 cups / 1 quart) x (4 quarts / 1 gallon) x (5 gallons) = 4 x 4 x 5 = 80 cups <u>
