equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4)
Perpendicular bisector lies at the midpoint of a line
Lets find mid point of (-9,-8) and (7,-4)
midpoint formula is
midpoint is (-1, -6)
Now find the slope of the given line
(-9,-8) and (7,-4)
Slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal of slope of given line
So slope of perpendicular line is -4
slope = -4 and midpoint is (-1,-6)
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y - (-6) = -4(x-(-1))
y + 6 = -4(x+1)
y + 6 = -4x -4
Subtract 6 on both sides
y = -4x -4-6
y= -4x -10
equation for the perpendicular Bisector y = -4x - 10
Linda should use ...
15 gallons of 80% juice
5 gallons of 60% juice
_____
Let g represent the number of gallons of 80% juice needed. Then (20-g) is the number of gallons of 60% juice Linda will use. The amount of juice in the mixture can be written as
0.80g +0.60(20 -g) = 0.75×20
0.20g = 20(0.75 -0.60) = 20×0.15
g = 20×0.15/0.20 = 15
The amount of 80% juice needed is 15 gallons, so 5 gallons of 60% juice are needed.
