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

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!

What is the approximate distance from Denver to Chicago? Use a proportional relationship to solve the problem. Show your work.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

d = 1002.6\,mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximately 5 units are equal to 557 miles and the scaled distance between Denver to Chicago is 9 units. The real distance can be estimated by simple rule of three:

d = \frac{9}{5}\times (557\,mi)

d = 1002.6\,mi

Y=-3/2x+4

The slope is -3/2, since Kerry traveled three feet and only went down 2.

The y intercept is 4, since she started four feet above the origin

Help answer this if ya know!

C) The +10 is because you already have 10 coins, that will not change. The 6x is because with each passing day, the number of coins increase by 6 (x represents days). The equation then turns into y=6x+10

Hope this helps comment for more questions :)
