Answer:
Given a line and a point not on it, no lines parallel to the given line can be drawn through the point. you get an elliptic geometry.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of this given line.
to do that, you need the slope of the perpendicular line and one point.
Step 1: find the slope of the given line segment. We have the two end points (10, 15) and (-20, 5), so the slope is m=(15-5)/(10-(-20))=1/3
the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, m=-3/1=-3
step 2: find the middle point: x=(-20+10)/2=-5, y=(15+5)/2=10 (-5, 10)
so the equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form is (y-10)=-3(x+5)
now plug in all the given coordinates to the equation to see which pair fits:
(-8, 19): 19-10=9, -3(-8+5)=9, so yes, (-8, 19) is on the perpendicular line.
try the other pairs, you will find that (1,-8) and (-5, 10) fit the equation too. (-5,10) happens to be the midpoint.
Answer: Option a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominator equal to zero and solve for x:
Factor the quadratic equation. Find two number whose sum is -1 and whose product is -2. Then:
Then, as you can see the value x=2 makes the denominator equal to zero and the division by zero does not exist. Therefore you can conclude that the function shown in the problem is not defined at x=2
The answer is the option a.
A = bh
b = 16
h = 3
A = 16*3
A = 48 square centimenters
