What is the slope-intercept equation that represents a midsegment of the triangle below?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

\boxed{\boxed{y=-0.5x+1.75}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A mid-segment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

One mid segment is joining the mid points of EF and FD.

Mid point of ED,

=(\dfrac{1-4}{2},\dfrac{4+1}{2})

=(-1.5,2.5)

Mid point of EF,

=(\dfrac{1+2}{2},\dfrac{4-2}{2})

=(1.5,1)

Line joining (-1.5,2.5) and (1.5,1) is,

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\dfrac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-2.5}{1-2.5}=\dfrac{x+1.5}{1.5+1.5}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-2.5}{-1.5}=\dfrac{x+1.5}{3}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-2.5}{1}=\dfrac{x+1.5}{-2}

\Rightarrow -2(y-2.5)=x+1.5

\Rightarrow -2y+5=x+1.5

\Rightarrow -2y=x+1.5-5

\Rightarrow -2y=x-3.5

\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{3.5}{2}

\Rightarrow y=-0.5x+1.75

The general point slope formula is,

y=mx+c

where,

m = slope, c = y intercept.

So comparing this equation we get,

slope = -0.5

y intercept = 1.75

The cost in dollars for removing p percent of pollutants from a river in Smith County is?
ZanzabumX [31]
Ok lets go ahead and see if the following answers can help:
<span>A) if p = 0.2 then C(p) = 157.52
B) if p = 0.95 then C(p) = 753.86
C) smallest p value that gives C(p) > or = 0. This is p = 0
D) largest INTEGER value for C(p) to exist or be >=0. This is p = 99. p = 100 gives 786000/0; does not exist. p > 101 starts giving negative numbers.
</span>I hope this has been of help

7. y-2 = (x+3)<br> 4<br> 2<br> X<br> - TO<br> 12<br> 4
drek231 [11]

Answer:

y = -24 + -2x + 2x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying:

y = 2(x + 3)(x + -4)

reorder the terms:

y = 2(3 + x)(x + -4)

multiply (3 + x) * (-4 + x)

y = 2(3(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x))

y = 2((-4 * 3 + x * 3) + x(-4 + x))

y = 2((-12 + 3x) + x(-4 + x))

y = 2(-12 + 3x + (-4 * x + x * x))

y = 2(-12 + 3x + (-4x + x2))

Combine like terms  3x + -4x = -1x

y = 2(-12 + -1x + x2)

y = (-12 * 2 + -1x * 2 + x2 * 2)

y = (-24 + -2x + 2x2)

Solving:

y = -24 + -2x + 2x2

solving for variable 'y'

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying:

y = -24 + -2x + 2x2

Max built a rectangular Prism and a rectangular Pyramid using beach sand. The prism and the pyramid have the same base area and
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Three times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Figures: Rectangular Prism and Rectangular Pyramid

Let the dimension of the prism be:

l = length

w = width

h = height

Amount of sand used is the volume (V1) and it is calculated using;

V_1 = l * w * h

V_1 = lw h

Since the pyramid has the same base area and height as the prism, the its dimension would be:

l = length

w = width

h = height

Amount of sand used is the volume (V2) and it is calculated using;

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)

So, we have:

V_1 = lw h

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)

Substitute lwh for V1 in the second equation

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1

Multiply both sides by 3

3 * V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1 * 3

3 * V_2 = V_1

Reorder

V_1 = 3 * V_2

V_1 = 3 V_2

<em>Hence, the amount of sand used in building the prism is three times the amount of sand used in building the pyramid</em>

The graph shows a proportional relationship.What is the unit rate? Enter your answer as an improper fraction in simplest form in
ruslelena [56]
That is the slope
rise/run
we see we have (2/5,1/2)
rise is y, run is x
(x,y)
((1/2)/(2/5)=(1/2)(2/5)=2/10=1/5

unit rate is y=(1/5)x
