The origin is at the point (0,0). Therefore, the y-intercept will be 0. For two points to be perpendicular, the slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other. .5 can be seen as 1/2, so the reciprocal is 2, and it is positive, making that 2 negative. Your equation would be y = -2x.
If u multiply the amount of gallons the pail holds by the amount of pails the tank can hold you would get 225.25 gallons.
Answer:
(−1.5,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the distance, midpoint, slope, equation and the x y-intercepts of a line passing between the two points p1 (6,7) and p2 (-9,-5)
The distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula
d = √ ((X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2)
d = √ (-9-6)2+(-5-7)2
d = √ ((-15)2+(-12)2)
d = √ (225+144)
d = √ 369
The distance between the points is 19.2093727122985
The midpoint of two points is given by the formula
Midpoint= ((X1+X2)/2,(Y1+Y2)/2)
Find the x value of the midpoint
Xm=(X1+X2)/2
Xm=(6+-9)/2=-1.5
Find the Y value of the midpoint
Ym=(Y1+Y2)/2
Ym=(7+-5)/2=1
The midpoint is: (-1.5,1)
