Answer:

  (A) see below

  (B) the right angle is at vertex B(-4,11)

  (1) 3x -4y = -46

  (E) the midpoint is (-4, 8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The slope of line AB is Δy/Δx = (11-7)/(-4-(-6)) = 4/2 = 2. The slope of line BC is (10-11)/(-2-(-4)) = -1/2. The slopes of AB and BC have a product of 2(-1/2) = -1, so are the slopes of perpendicular lines. The points are distinct, and lines joining two pairs of them are at right angles, so the points form a right triangle.

(B) Point B(-4,11) is the point of intersection of perpendicular segments AB and BC, so is the location of the right angle.

(1) The slope of the hypotenuse AC is ...

  Δy/Δx = (10-7)/(-2-(-6)) = 3/4

In point-slope form, the equation for the line through point A with this slope is ...

  y -7 = 3/4(x +6) . . . . point-slope form of the equation of the hypotenuse

  4y -28 = 3x +18 . . . . multiply by 4

  -46 = 3x -4y . . . . .  . subtract 18+4y

  3x -4y = -46 . . . . . . . standard form equation of the hypotenuse

(E) The midpoint of the hypotenuse is the average of the endpoint coordinates:

  M = (A + C)/2 = (-6-2, 7+10)/2 = (-4, 8.5)

The midpoint of the hypotenuse is M(-4, 8.5).

A factory can assemble 150 cars in 3 hours. At this rate, how many cars can be assemble in 8 hours?
Orlov [11]
To find this out first we will see how many cars they assemble in 1 hour. Lets do it:-

150 / 3 = 50
50 cars per hr
 
50 * 8 = 400
400 cars in 8 hrs
 
CHECK OUR WORK;-
 
400 / 8 = 50
We were RIGHT!!
 
So, in 8 hrs the factory can assemble 400 cars.
 
Hope I helped ya!! xD

X and y<br> are supplementary angles. y<br> measures 156<br> What is the measure of a?
Troyanec [42]

Supplementary angles need to add up to 180 degrees.

Subtract Y from 180:

X = 180 - 156 = 24

X = 24 degrees

Marcy has 150 to buy packages of hotdogs and hamburgers for her booth at the carnival. Grocery store she found packages of hotdo
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Part (A): The required equation will be: 6d+20b=150

Part (B):The required equation will be: d=\frac{150-20b}{6}

Part (C):The required equation will be: b=\frac{150-6d}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let d represents number of packages of hot dogs and b represents the number of packages of hamburgers.

Part (a)

It is given that the cost of a package of hot dogs is $6 and cost of a package of hamburger is $20.

The required equation will be: 6d+20b=150

Part (b) Solve the above equation for d.

Subtract 20b from both sides.

6d=150-20b

Divide 6 from both sides.

d=\frac{150-20b}{6}

The required equation will be: d=\frac{150-20b}{6}

Part (c) Solve the equation for b.

Subtract 6d from both sides.

20b=150-6d

Divide 20 from both sides, we get

b=\frac{150-6d}{20}

The required equation will be: b=\frac{150-6d}{20}
