Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

... 1 - 5q +2·2.5q +2·8

... = 1 -5q +5q +16 . . . . . carry out the multiplication

... = q(-5+5) +(1 +16) . . . . group like terms

... = q·0 +17 . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

... = 17

The given line segment has a midpoint at (3, 1).

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line segment has a midpoint at (3, 1) and goes through (2, 4), (3, 1), and (4, -2). We can use any two of the three points to calculate the equation of the line. Let us use the points (2, 4) and (4, -2)

Therefore the line goes through (2, 4) and (4, -2). The equation of a line passing through $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

Therefore the line passing through (2, 4) and (4, -2) has an equation:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\frac{y-4}{x-2}=\frac{-2-4}{4-2}\\\frac{y-4}{x-2}=\frac{-6}{2}\\y-4=x-2(-3)\\y-4=-3x+6\\y=-3x+10$

Comparing with the general equation of line: y = mx + c, the slope (m) = -3 and the intercept on the y axis (c) = 10

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1. If the slope of line one is m1 and the slope of line 2 = m2, then the two lines are perpendicular if:

$m_1m_2=-1$ .

Therefore The slope (m2) of the perpendicular bisector of y = -3x + 10 is:

$m_1m_2=-1\\-3m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{1}{3}$

Since it is the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment, it passes through the midpoint (3, 1). The equation of the perpendicular bisector is:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=m\\\frac{y-1}{x-3}=\frac{1}{3}\\ y-1= \frac{1}{3}(x-3)\\ y-1=\frac{1}{3}x-1\\y=\frac{1}{3}x$

the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment is $y=\frac{1}{3}x$

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The mean is 42.6

Step-by-step explanation:

$6+90+16+80+15 + 70 + 4 + 60 = 341 \\ there \: are \: 8 \: numbers \: in \: total \: so \: you \: divide \: the \: sum \\ by \: 8. \\ 341 \div 8 = 42.625 \\ mean≈42.6$
