If it is bisector then it co ordinate points is in mid way(3,-2)

and it is perpendicular so its slope m2=-1/m1
where m1 is slope of another line passes through (4,1) nd (2,-5)

m1=-5-1/2-4=3
m2==-1/3

so equation of line is
y-3= -1/3(x+2)

Answer:

So the correct answer is  y= -1/3x - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

My fist step to solving this question would be to find the mid-point of the given line. The mid point of (4,1) and (2,-5) is (3,-2). The mid point is where the perpendicular bisector connects or bisects the given segment. My second step would be to graph the two given points and to connect them, forming a line. This way, I would know the slope of the line and then I would be able to find the slope of the perpendicular bisector, since the slope for perpendicular lines is the opposite reciprocal of the given line. In doing this, I discovered that the slope of the segment with the given endpoints is 3 which means that the slope of the perpendicular bisector will be -1/3. So, so far we've got a point of intersection and a slope which is all we need to formulate the equation of the line that we are looking for.

In the end, our answer will be y= -1/3x - 1.

What is the nth term for the sequence 5 , 14 , 29 , 50 , 77
Marina86 [1]
The answer would be 3n^2 + 2.

This can be found/proven by replacing "n" with term number (1,2,3,4...), then solving to get the final number. For example 3 * 1^2 + 2. You would first do 1^2, which is 1. Next, you would multiply 1 by 3, to get 3. Finally, you'd and the 2 to get 5. 5 is the 1st term, and you can use this same equation to get the rest of the terms you need.

I hope this helps!

the radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 2.5 ft. if the pipe is 21 ft long, what is its volume? use the value 3.14 for p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cylinder = π x radius² x height (Length in this case)

Replacing with the values given:

V = 3.14 (2.5)² 21 = 3.4 (6.25) 21 = 412.12 = 412 cubic feet  (rounded)

In conclusion, the volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
