Answer:   \bold{y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(4, 1) & (2, -5)

First, find the slope (m) and then the perpendicular (opposite reciprocal) slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\m=\dfrac{-5-1}{2-4} = \dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\quad \rightarrow \quad m_{\perp}=-\dfrac{1}{3}\\

Next, find the midpoint of (4, 1) and (2, -5):

Midpoint=\bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{4+2}{2},\dfrac{1-5}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{6}{2},\dfrac{-4}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=(3, -2)

Lastly, input the perpendicular slope and the midpoint into the Point-Slope formula to find the equation of the line:

y - y_1 = m_{\perp}(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-2) = -\dfrac{1}{3}(x - 3)\\\\y + 2=-\dfrac{1}{3}x +1\\\\y =-\dfrac{1}{3}x - 1\\

Cody bought two burgers and two
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one burger be $b while the cost of one small fries be s

2 burgers and 2 small fries cost $14

This means that;

2b + 2s = 14

divide both sides by 2

b + s = 7 •••••••• (i)

Three burgers and four small fries cost $23

Mathematically;

3b + 4s = 23 •••••••• (ii)

From i , we can see that s = 7- b

we can now substitute this into equation ii

3b + 4(7-b) = 23

3b + 28 -4b = 23

4b -3b = 28 -23

b = $5

one burger costs $5

Need help on number 25 and 26 can you please explain how you got the answer thanks!:)
Westkost [7]
In both problems, the sum of side lengths is the perimeter. Opposite sides of a parallelogram (or rectangle) are equal in length, so you can find the perimeter by doubling the sum of adjacent sides.

25. 2(x +(x +15)) = (x +45) +(x +40) +(x +25)
.. 4x +30 = 3x +110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+30
.. 4x +30 = 4*80 +30 = 240
The perimeter of each is 240 units.

26. 2(x +(x +2)) = (x) +(x +6) +(x +4)
.. 4x +4 = 3x +10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+4
.. 4x +4 = 4*6 +4 = 28
The perimeter of each is 28 units.

Whats the perimeter and area of this shape?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

<u>60+14.35=88.27</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

5x12 for the rectangle on the right, then for the circle, using the formula A=πr², I get 28.27, which you divide by 2 because you only need half of the circle, and you get 88.27. I calculated the radius by subtracting 12-6 and then dividing that in half because the radius is half of the distance to the other end of the circle. Then you get the radius of 3, then plug it into the formula to get π(3)², which is just 3.14(9), and you get 28.27.
