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

What are you trying to do here?
Solve the graph, or make it appear as something else?

First, we're going to take one sec (x) out so that we get:
sec (x) (2sec (x) -1 -1) = 0

sec (x) (2sec (x) -2) = 0


Then we're going to separate the two to find the zeros of each because anything time 0 is zero.

sec(x) = 0

2sec (x) - 2 = 0

Now, let's simplify the second one as the first one is already.

Add 2 to both sides:

2sec (x) = 2

Divide by 3 on both sides:

sec (x) = 1


I forgot my unit circle, so you'd have to do that by yourself. Hopefully, I helped a bit though!

Which graph shows the correct representation of {x | x ≤ 5}?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

third choice

Step-by-step explanation:

That would be the third one. It has to be a closed circle because it includes the sign, ≤ meaning that it also has the number 5 included. The numbers that go to the left of 5 are smaller, too.

At the playground, the new sandbox was 10 meters wide and had an area of 60 square meters. How long is the sandbox?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is length times width. If the width is 10 and the area is 60, then you would find 10 times ??? equals 60. Or 60 divided by 10. which is 6
