The answer for the question above is TRUE.

Given a line segment with endpoints A and B, we must merely find a point on the perpendicular bisector of the line AB, then use the perpendicular line construction. To find the point on the perpendicular bisector, we must merely find a point that is equidistant from both A and B. We can do this with a compass by choosing a compass length greater than half the length AB, and then making an arc from A above the line AB. Then we make an arc from B having the same length. 

<span>Since we used the same length for each arc, the intersection of the arcs, P, is equidistant from A and B. Now we simply use the perpendicular line construction for line AB and P, which is off the line. This line will be a perpendicular bisector. </span>

Answer:

(4,2). DEPENDENT

Step-by-step explanation:

As each equation consist on two variable, both can be represented graphically on a cartesian plane. First, each expression is rewritten in explicit form:

y = 6 - x (red line) and y = x - 2 (blue line)

By the resource of graphing software, the solution is (4,2). The representation is presented below as attachment. As solution exists, both expression are linearly DEPENDENT.

Factor -3/4 out of 3/2x - 9/4y
Vikki [24]

Answer:

-\frac{3}{4} \times (-2x +3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor out -3/4 out of that equation, multiply and divide by -3/4.

Say ;

=\frac{3}{2}x -\frac{9}{4}y

=(\frac{3}{2}x -\frac{9}{4}y) \times \frac{-\frac{3}{4} }{-\frac{3}{4}}

Now, rearranging and making necessary commutations.

=-\frac{3}{4} \times (\frac{3}{2}x -\frac{9}{4}y) \times \frac{1 }{-\frac{3}{4}}

=-\frac{3}{4} \times (-2x +3y)

Factoring -3/4 we get an equation without any fractions

= -2x + 3y
