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

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The volume of the water that Marry should pour into the vase is 241.28 cubic inches.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

Given the radius of the flower vase is 4 inches, while the height of the vase is 6 inches, therefore, the total volume of the vase is,

Volume = πR²×H = π× 4²×6 = 301.6 in³

Since the volume of the vase is 301.6 in³, but the store has told her to fill the vase 4/5 of its capacity, therefore, the volume of water Marry should pour is,

Volume of water = (4/5) × 301.6 in³ = 241.28 cubic inches

Hence, the volume of the water that Marry should pour into the vase is 241.28 cubic inches.

640, 160, 40, 10,....
-Dominant- [34]
The pattern is dividing by 4 so it would be: 640 (divided by 4), 160 (divided by 4), 40 (divided by 4), 10 (divided by four), 5/2.
The next number would be 10/4 or 5/2 when simplified. (I’d go with 5/2 because teachers liked simplified numbers)
