Answer:

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to calculate the slope of the parallel line, since that would be equal to the slope of our line:

Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Now we insert the values into the formula:

Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\Slope=\frac{5-7}{1-2}\\Slope= \frac{-2}{-1}\\ Slope:2

And remember that the formula for general line is:

Y-y1= M(x-x1)\\y-9=2(x-8=\\y=2x-16+9\\y=2x-7

So the equation for the line passing through point 8,9 and parallel to the line joining 2,7 and 1,5 would be y=2x-7

Answer:

2x - y - 7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope of parallel line are same.

So, we can easily use formula,

y - y₁ = m ( x ₋ x₁)

where, (x₁, y₁) = (8, 9)

and m is a slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁).

and since the slope of parallel lines are same, so here we use slope of parallel line for calculation.

and, Slope = m = \dfrac{y_{b}-y_{a}}{x_{b}-x_{a}}

here, (xₐ, yₐ) = (2, 7)

and, (y_{a},y_{b}) = (1, 5 )

⇒ m = \dfrac{5-7}{1-2}

⇒ m = 2

Putting all values above formula. We get,

y - 9 = 2 ( x ₋ 8)

⇒ y - 9 = 2x - 16

⇒ 2x - y - 7 = 0

which is required equation.

Please help I will give brainliest.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

Perpendicular bisector is a line that divides the line into two equal halves forming 90° at the intersection point.

So, points A and B will be at the same distance from the intersection point.

If the constructed line (perpendicular bisector) is the reflection axis, then point B will be the refection point of A.

I cant add mixed fractions with whole numbers
butalik [34]

If you add the whole number to the whole number part of the mixed number, and then add the fraction from the mixed number on to the end of that,  you get a new mixed number which is your answer.
