Answer:
m = -1/2 and b = 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:
(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2
2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2
To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:
y = mx + b
8 = -1/2(-3) + b
8 = 3/2 + b
6.5 = b
I think it is the second one but im not for sure
I hope that helped you
Answer:
8 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
since we are trying to find how many minutes have passed we first need to find how much substance was used during the time. we can do that by subtracting the leftover substance from the amount we started with.
666-562 = 104
Now that we know how much substance was used we can then use our conversion rate (13 per minute) and find how many minutes have passed by dividing.
104 / 13 = 8
