Answer:
2y - 12x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
gradient of line PQ= (7-8)/ 4+2
-1/6
gradient of perpendicular bisector of line PQ=
-1 ÷ -1/6
-1× -6
6
coordinates of the midpoint of line PQ
(-2+4)/2, (8+7)/2
(1, 15/2)
the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of line PQ
Equation of the perpendicular bisector
y - 15/2 = 6(x - 1)
multiply through by 2
2y - 15 = 12(x - 1)
2y - 15 = 12x - 12
2y - 12x = 3
5/6÷2/1
=5/6×1/2
=5/12 i hope this helps
Answer:
x = -2 & y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20
step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)
step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)
step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)
step 5. this step is incorrect.
step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)
step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).
