Answer:

The equation of line passing through points (1 , 4) and (3 , - 4) is y = - 4 x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A line is passing through points

$x_1$ , $y_1$ = 1 , 4

$x_2$ , $y_2$ = 3 , - 4

<u>Now, Equation of line in point-slope form is</u>

y - $y_1$ = m × (x - $x_1$ )

where m is the slope of line

∵ m = $\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

i.e m = $\dfrac{ ( - 4 ) - 4}{3 - 1}$

Or, m = $\dfrac{ - 8}{2}$

Or, m = - 4

So, The slope of line = m = - 4

∵, equation of line can be written as

y - $y_1$ = m × (x - $x_1$ )

<u>So, Putting the value of slope, m and points ( $x_1$ , $y_1$ )</u>

i.e y - 4 = ( - 4 ) × ( x - 1 )

Or, y - 4 = ( - 4 ) × x + 4

Or, y - 4 = - 4 x + 4

Or, y = - 4 x + 4 + 4

∴ y = - 4 x + 8

So, The equation of line y = - 4 x + 8

Hence, The equation of line passing through points (1 , 4) and (3 , - 4) is y = - 4 x + 8 Answer

Assume that the function call operator() is overloaded for data type String in the usual sense of selecting a substring from a l

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

"EF"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

String1 = "ABCDEFGHI"

Substring : String1(4,2)

To solve this, one must understand the following

1. The function call operator () is used to overload objects of class type.

2. A copy constructor must receive its argument by reference to prevent an otherwise infinite recursion.

3. overload ( ), doesn't mean that one is not creating a new way to call a function; instead, it is a way to create an operator function that can be passed an arbitrary number of parameters

Having pointed out this,

The string to overload goes thus

String1 = "ABCDEFGHI"

The parameters goes thus

String1(4,2)

To represent this properly, we have

("ABCDEFGHI",4,2)

Which means to return 2 strings starting from the 4th index character.

It should be noted that index starts at 0.

So, the character at the 4th index is "E"

Then, we count 2 characters starting from E (i.e. E, inclusive)

This gives

"EF"

So, the returned string is "EF"

Given that CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, where D is on AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, how can you use the Pythagorean Theor

Liula [17]

Answer:

$(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (CA)^2$ and $(CD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (CB)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bisector: CD

of Line AB

Required

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

From the question, CD bisects AB and it bisects it at D.

The relationship between AB and CD is given by the attachment

Considering ACD

From the attachment, we have that:

$Hypothenuse = CA$

$Opposite = CD$

$Adjacent = AD$

By Pythagoras Theorem, we have

$(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (CA)^2$

Considering CBD

From the attachment, we have that:

$Hypothenuse = CB$

$Opposite = CD$

$Adjacent = BD$

By Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$(CD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (CB)^2$

What can you conclude from a box plot where the length of the left box and whisker is the same as the length of the right box an

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the boxes and whiskers of a box plot tells us more about the spread the data being represented is and as well as the shape of the spread.

Invariably, if the length of the left box and left whiskers is of the same length as the right box and right whiskers, this implies that the distribution of the data point is close to being symmetric, or approximately symmetrical.
