Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x² + 3x - 4 → (1)

y = 2x - 4 → (2)

Substitute y = x² + 3x - 4 into (2)

x² + 3x - 4 = 2x - 4 ( subtract 2x - 4 from both sides )

x² + x = 0 ← in standard form

x(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Substitute these values into (2) for corresponding values of y

x = 0 → y = 2(0) - 4 = 0 - 4 = - 4 ⇒ (0, - 4 )

x = - 1 → y = 2(- 1) - 4 = - 2 - 4 = - 6 ⇒ (- 1, - 6 )

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with end points M(1,5) and N(7,-1)

vitfil [10]

The perpendicular bisector of the segment passes through the midpoint of this segment. Thus, we will initially find the midpoint P:

$P=\dfrac{(1,5)+(7,-1)}{2}=\dfrac{(8,4)}{2}=(4,2)$

Now, we will calculate the slope of the segment support line (r). After this, we will use the fact that the perpendicular bisector (p) is perpendicular to r:

$m_r=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{5-(-1)}{1-7}=\dfrac{6}{-6}\iff m_r=-1$

$p\perp r\Longrightarrow m_p\cdot m_r=-1\Longrightarrow m_p\cdot(-1)=-1\iff m_p=1$

We can calculate the equation of p by using its slope and its point P:

$y-y_P=m_p(x-x_P)\\\\
y-2=1\cdot(x-4)\\\\
y-2=x-4\\\\
\boxed{p:~~y=x-2}$

Write two inequalities to compare -7 and -4

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

1. -7<-4

2. -4>-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 is greater than -7, because -4 is a small negative number, and is closer to 0.
