Answer:

y=1.6x+2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The right bisector of the line segment JK is a perpendicular line to the segment JK that pass through the midpoint of segment JK

step 1

Find the midpoint JK

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

J(-5,3),K(3,-2)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-5+3}{2},\frac{3-2}{2})

M(\frac{-2}{2},\frac{1}{2})

M(-1,\frac{1}{2})

step 2

Find the slope JK

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

we have

J(-5,3),K(3,-2)

substitute

m=\frac{-2-3}{3+5}

m=\frac{-5}{8}

m=-\frac{5}{8}

step 3

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the segment JK

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of the slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{5}{8}  ----> slope of segment JK

Find m_2

substitute

(-\frac{5}{8})*m_2=-1

m_2=\frac{8}{5}

step 4

Find the equation for the right bisector of the line segment JK

The equation in point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{8}{5}

point\ M(-1,\frac{1}{2})

substitute

y-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{5}(x+1)

Convert to slope intercept form

isolate the variable y

y-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{8}{5}

y=\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{8}{5}+\frac{1}{2}

y=\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{21}{10}

y=1.6x+2.1

Find the value of z.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  z = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles z and the one marked 70° form an linear pair, hence are supplementary.

  z = 180° -70° = 110°

<h3>Angles where chords cross</h3>

The angle made by two chords is half the sum of the arcs intercepted by those chords. Here, that means ...

  70° = 1/2(60° +x)   ⇒   x = 140° -60° = 80°

The arc w completes the circle of 360°, so we have ...

  w +x +79° +60° = 360°   ⇒   w = 360° -219° = 141°

Finally, z is the average of w and 79°:

  z = (w +79°)/2 = (141° +79°)/2 = 110° . . . as above

A stone is dropped of a 1296-ft-cliff. The height of the stone above the ground is given by the equation h= - 16t^2+1296, where
stich3 [128]

When stone hits the ground, it's height will be zero, and since we're finding the time that's required for the stone to hit the ground, we can set h = 0 and solve for t.

In the Hawaiian Beach Boy surf board vendor scenario, what if the fine was increased to $190 but the probability of a fine decre
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$190.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value is the sum of each possible income multiplied by its probability.

There's a 5% chance that the vendor makes $200 and loses $190 (net gain of $10).

There's a 95% chance that the vendor makes $200 and loses $0 (net gain of $200).

So the expected value is:

Exp(RS) = $10 × 0.05 + $200 × 0.95

Exp(RS) = $190.50
