The equation of perpendicular bisector of QR is:

y = -\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{22}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

Q(-2,0)\ and\ R(6,12)

First of all, we have to find the slope of the given line

So,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here

(x1,y1) = (-2,0)

(x2,y2) = (6,12)

Let m1 be the slope of QR:

Then

m_1 = \frac{12-0}{6+2}\\= \frac{12}{8}\\= \frac{3}{2}

Let m2 be the slope of perpendicular bisector

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1

m_1.m_2 = -1\\\frac{3}{2}.m_2 = -1\\m_2 = -1 * \frac{2}{3}\\m_2 = -\frac{2}{3}

The bisector will pass through the mid-point of QR

M = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\M = (\frac{-2+6}{2}, \frac{0+12}{2})\\M = (\frac{4}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\M = (2,6)

Slope-intercept form of equation is:

y = m_2x+b

Putting the value of slope

y = -\frac{2}{3}x+b

Putting (2,6) in the equation

6 = -\frac{2}{3}(2)+b\\6 = -\frac{4}{3}+b\\b = 6+\frac{4}{3}\\b = \frac{18+4}{3}\\b = \frac{22}{3}

So,

y = -\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{22}{3}

Hence,

The equation of perpendicular bisector of QR is:

y = -\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{22}{3}

Jamie has 8/10 of a candy bar leftover. He wants to split it into 1/3. How many 1/3 pieces can he make
anyanavicka [17]
He can make 3 pieces. Since he has 8/10 of a candy bar, it is then simplified to 4/5 of a candy bar. You need to find 1/3 of that, that is 4/15. Then how many times does 4/15 fit into 4/5, well simply do this: (4/15)x=4/5. Solving for x should give you 3.
