Answer:

The midpoint of the points (2,8) and (0,4) is given by:

)=(1,6)

We must must transform the standard form equation −3x+6y=5 into a slope-intercept form equation (y=mx+b) to find its slope.

−3x+6y=5 (Subtract 3x on both sides.)

6y=3x+5 (Divide both sides by 6.)

y=

The slope of our first line is equal to

2

1

. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so if the slope of one is x, the slope of the other is

x

1

.

The negative reciprocal of

2

1

is equal to −2, therefore, −2 is the slope of our line.

Since the equation of line passing through the midpoint (1,6), therefore, substitute the given point in the equation y=−2x+b:

6=(−2×1)+b

6=−2+b

b=6+2=8

Substitute this value for b in the equation y=−2x+b:

y=−2x+8

Hence, the equation of the line is y=−2x+8.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Option B

7569 number of people are going to vote for the other candidate

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that candidate took a phone poll of 110 people

Of the 110 people polled, 87 said they would vote for the other person

There are 9570 people in the district

You can set up this problem like a proportion

Let "x" be the number of people who would vote for the other candidate

\frac{87}{110} = \frac{x}{9570}

To solve proportions, you cross-multiply. This means you multiply the numerator by the other denominator, and the denominator by the other numerator

87 \times 9570 = 110 \times x

832590 = 110x

x = 7569

Thus 7569 number of people are going to vote for the other candidate

How do i solve this quadratic equation x²+6x+c
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

recall in a perfect square trinomial, the middle term is the tale-tell guy, we know the middle term is the product of 2 and the two other guys without the exponent, so in this case 6x = 2*√x² * √c.


\bf 6x=2\cdot \sqrt{x^2}\cdot \sqrt{c}\implies 6x=2\sqrt{x^2c}\implies 6x=2x\sqrt{c}\\\\\\\cfrac{6x}{2x}=\sqrt{c}\implies 3=\sqrt{c}\implies 3^2=c\implies 9=c
