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).

6 + 3y = 4y +2
3y - 4y = 2 - 6
-y = -4
y = 4

HELPPPPPPP!!!! 0÷0<br><br>Find the RATIO and the EXACT VALUE of the given CscB.​
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take angle B as reference angle

using cosec rule

cosec B=hypotenuse/opposite

cosec B=13/12

cosec B=1.08

B=cosec 67

B=67 degree

for ratio,

cosec B=13/12
