Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:
m=(-5-1)/(2-4)
m=-6/-2
m=3
Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1 in this case:
3m=-1
m=-1/3
So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting. The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:
mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:
mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)
mp=(6/2, -4/2)
mp=(3,-2)
So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:
y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:
-2=(-1/3)3+b
-2=-3/3+b
-2=-1+b
-1=b
So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...
y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P
y=(-x-3)/3
Answer:
<h2>n = 2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Six less than the product of 4 and a number is equal to 2:
<em>n</em><em> - the number</em>
<em>add 6 to both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 4</em>
Answer:
All numbers divisible by 9 are also divisible by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nine is basically just 3 3's.
There are total 30 students in the piano class.
<h3>What is Ratio and Proportion ?</h3>
When a number can be divided by another number then they can be written as p : q , when two ratios can be equated using an equal sign then they are said to be in proportion.
It is given that the total number of girls is 40% of the total students
The ratio of total students to girls is 100 :40
= 10 :4
= 5 : 2
It is also given that in the total number of students 12 were girls
Let total students be x
Then the ratio is x : 12
As both the ratio are same and so can be equated and the proportion will be
5 : 2 = x : 12
5/2 = x /12
x = 30
Therefore there are total 30 students in the piano class.
