Evaluate the expression. (2/5+11)x10-(-3))

During 2002, the average person ate 200.8 pounds of meat. How much meat does a family of 3 people eat in year?

dem82 [27]

Hi there! An average person ate 200.8 pounds of meat, so we would multiply that number by 3 to see how much meat the family ate altogether. 200.8 * 3 is 602.4. There. A family of 3 would eat 602.4 pounds of meat in a year.

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with the endpoints (8,10) and ( -4,2).

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The required equation is:

$y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line, the slope and y-intercept is required.

The slope can be found by finding the slope of given line segment. A the perpendicular bisector of a line is perpendicular to the given line, the product of their slopes will be -1 and it will pass through the mid-point of given line segment.

Given points are:

$(x_1,y_1) = (8,10)\\(x_2,y_2) = (-4,2)$

We will find the slope of given line segment first

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{2-10}{-4-8}\\=\frac{-8}{-12}\\=\frac{2}{3}$

Let m_1 be the slope of perpendicular bisector then,

$m.m_1 = -1\\\frac{2}{3}.m_1 = -1\\m_1 = \frac{-3}{2}$

Now the mid-point

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\= (\frac{8-4}{2} , \frac{10+2}{2})\\=(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\=(2,6)$

We have to find equation of a line with slope -3/2 passing through (2,6)

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is given by:

$y = m_1x+b$

Putting the value of slope

$y= -\frac{3}{2}x+b$

Putting the point (2,6) to find the y-intercept

$6 = -\frac{3}{2}(2)+b\\6 = -3+b\\b = 6+3 =9$

The equation is:

$y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9$

Algebra 1 : ordered pairs kinda dont get it

Answer:

Option C; 3x - y = -27 and x + 2y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let us consider the equation 21x - y = 9. In this case it would be best to keep the equation in this form, in order to find the x and y intercept. Let us first find to y - intercept, for the simplicity ⇒ 21 * ( 0 ) - y = 9 ⇒ y = - 9 when x = 0. Now if we take a look at the first plot of line q, we can see that the x value is -9 rather than the y value, so this equation doesn't match that of line q. This would eliminate the first two options being a possibility.

2. Now let us consider the equation 3x - y = -27. Let us consider the x-intercept in this case. That being said, ⇒ 3x - ( 0 ) = -27 ⇒ 3x = -27 ⇒ x = -9 when y = 0. As we can see, this coordinate matches with one of the coordinates of line q, which might mean that the second equation could match with the equation for line v.

3. To see whether Option 3 is applicable, we must take a look at the 2nd equation x + 2y = 16. Let us calculate the y - intercept here: ( 0 ) + 2y = 16 ⇒ 2y = 16 ⇒ y = 8 when x = 0. Here we can see that this coordinate matches with that of the second coordinate provided as one of the points in line v. That means that ~ Answer: Option C
