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!

Georgia [21]
A = L * W
(9/10) = (3/2) * W
Divide both sides (3/2)
(9/10) / (3/2) = W
(9/10) * (2/3) = W
18/30 = W
6/10 = W
W = 3/5 mile

Math question! I appreciate any help!
saw5 [17]
Lateral faces are all the sides of the prisms EXCEPT the bases, which are the sides on the top and bottom. To find the area of the lateral faces we can use the formula: perimeter x height.

perimeter = 2 (6 + 8) = 2 x 14 = 28
height = 14
area of the lateral faces = perimeter x height = 28 x 14 = 392

Hope this helps!

If you nee solving it will be:
c^6(-3c^5)^2
c^6(3c^5)^2
c^6·3^2(c^5)^2
c^6·9(c^5)^2
c^6·9c^10
9c^6c^10
9c^6+10
9c^16
So the answer is:
9c^16
(9c to the power of 16)
