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}

How many zero arin the product of any whole. number less than 10 and 500
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Hay un máximo de tres ceros en el producto de un número distinto de cero cero menor que 10 y 500

Para poder ver esto, la forma más fácil para resolver este problema es multiplicar todos los números entre 1 y 9 por 500, es decir:

01*500 = 500

2*500 = 1.000

3*500 = 1.500

4*500 = 2.000

5*500 = 2.500

6*500 = 3.000

7*500 = 3.500

8*500 = 4.000

9*500 = 4.500

Como vemos, si multiplicamos a 500 por cualquier número par, entonces obtenemos un número con tres ceros, mientras que si este es impar solamente obtenemos dos ceros

PLEASE HELP ME OUT..........

Here is your answer

\bold{x=12}

REASON:

Concept used: The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

So, in above given figure

3x+7=5x-17 (measures of opposite sides)

5x-3x= 17+7

2x= 24

x= 24/2

x= 12
