The circumcenter is where the perpendicular bisectors meet.
if you sketch the triangle, you will see that it is a right triangle, with the right angle vertex at (2,1)
one perpendicular bisector is x=1, another perpendicular bisector is y=3
they meet at (1,3)
so (1,3) is the answer.
Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)
Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES
Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
Then -6/5 = 2/p, or
-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)
Answer:
(0, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
that is where the line intercepts on the vertical axis
Wow, what a coincidence, I just learned this at school today!
1. Slope
M= yb-ya/xb-xa
M= 8-4/8-6
M= 4/2
M= 2
2. Y-intercept
Y= mx + b
4 = (2)(6) + b
4 = 12 + b
4 = 12 + b
-12 = - 12 + b
-8 = b
Therefore, the equation is Y = 2x - 8
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
the co ordinate of f(-5) is -7
