Answer:

C) 3x - 4y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of AB is

M( (-2 + 4)/2, (-5 + 3)/2 ) = M(1, -1)

Line AB has slope:

(3 - (-5))/(-2 - 4) = 8/(-6) = -4/3

Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

A perpendicular to line AB has slope 3/4.

The perpendicular to line AB that passes through the midpoint of segment AB is the line we want.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - (-1) = \dfrac{3}{4}(x - 1)

y + 1 = \dfrac{3}{4}(x - 1)

4y + 4 = 3(x - 1)

4y + 4 = 3x - 3

3x - 4y = 7

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment joining a and b

m = 8/(-6) =-4/3

For that of the perpendicular bisector...

m = 3/4

Midpoint of Segment joining a and b

([-2+4]/2 , [3-5]/2)

=(1, -1)

y=mx+c

-1=(3/4)(1)+c

c= -7/4

y=3x/4 - 7/4

4y=3x - 7

3x-4y = 7

The width of a rectangle is 3.4 feet. The perimeter is 12.6 feet what is the length
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

the answer is 2.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture a rectangle, if one side is 3.4 then the other side 3.4. Add those two togerther gives you 6.8. Now you can subtract 6.8 from the perimeter which is 12.6 then that gives you 5.8. Then you split the 5.8 which give you 2.90 which is the length of the rectangle. So if you label all the sides of the rectangle like this 3.4 + 3.4 + 2.90 + 2.90 = 12.6

A line intersects the point (3,-4) and has a slope of 17. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line? y = 17x + [?]​
Ilya [14]
We can plug in the values of this point to find b
-4 = 17 (3) +b
We will multiply 17 times 3
-4 = 51 + b
We then subtract by 51 on both sides
-55 = b
So the full equation will be
y = 17x - 55
