What is the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining points A(1, 1) and B(5, 7)?

1 answer:

8 0

Bisector must pass through the mid-point, so we have to find out that mid-point of the segment:

mid point = x₁+x₂ / 2 , y₁+y₂/2
= 1 + 5 / 2 , 1 + 7 / 2
= 6/2 , 8/2
= (3, 4)

Slope of given segment = m = y₂-y₁ / x₂- x₁
m = 7-1 / 5-1
m = 6/4
m = 3/2

Now, segment which is perpendicular, will have the opposite & reciprocal slope, So, it would be: -2/3

We know, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 4 = -2/3(x - 3)
y - 4 = -2/3x + 2
y = -2/3x + 6

In short, Your Final Answer would be: y = -2/3x + 6

Hope this helps!

Simplify sin^2y/sec^2 y−1 to a single trigonometric function

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$\frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \sec}^{2}y - 1 } = { \cos }^{2} y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ${ \tan }^{2} y = { \sec }^{2} y - 1$

Also , ${ \tan}^{2} y = \frac{ { \sin }^{2} y}{ { \cos }^{2}y }$

So ,

$\frac{ { \sin }^{2}y }{ { \sec }^{2}y - 1 } = \frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \tan }^{2} y} = \frac{ { \sin }^{2}y }{ \frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \cos}^{2}y } } = { \cos }^{2} y$

Explain how to find 27% of 16 using multiplication by

just olya [345]

Answer:

4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply 16 by 0.27 to get the answer.

Factor completely. 18b−32 Enter your answer in the boxes. ___(___)

Kamila [148]

To factor completely 18b - 32, we factor out the common factor of the two terms and divide each of term by the common factor.

18b - 32 = 2(18b/2 - 32/2) = 2(9b - 16)
