What is 0.88 as a percentage.

A triangle is formed from the points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8). Find the equation of the following lines:

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Part A) $y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}$

Part B) $y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}$

Part C) $y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8)

Part A) Find the equation of the median from N

we Know that

The median passes through point N to midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

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

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

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})$

$M(-1,-1)$

step 2

Find the slope of the segment NM

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

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

we have

N(3, 2) and M(-1,-1)

substitute the values

$m=\frac{-1-2}{-1-3}$

$m=\frac{-3}{-4}$

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

$point\ N(3, 2)$

substitute

$y-2=\frac{3}{4}(x-3)$

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y-2=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}+2$

$y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}$

Part B) Find the equation of the right bisector of LP

we Know that

The right bisector is perpendicular to LP and passes through midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

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

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

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})$

$M(-1,-1)$

step 2

Find the slope of the segment LP

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

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

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

$m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}$

$m=\frac{-14}{4}$

$m=-\frac{14}{4}$

$m=-\frac{7}{2}$

step 3

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

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

$m_1*m_2=-1$

we have

$m_1=-\frac{7}{2}$

so

$m_2=\frac{2}{7}$

step 4

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=\frac{2}{7}$

$point\ M(-1,-1)$ ----> midpoint LP

substitute

$y+1=\frac{2}{7}(x+1)$

step 5

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y+1=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}$

$y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}-1$

$y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}$

Part C) Find the equation of the altitude from N

we Know that

The altitude is perpendicular to LP and passes through point N

step 1

Find the slope of the segment LP

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

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

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

$m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}$

$m=\frac{-14}{4}$

$m=-\frac{14}{4}$

$m=-\frac{7}{2}$

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

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

$m_1*m_2=-1$

we have

$m_1=-\frac{7}{2}$

so

$m_2=\frac{2}{7}$

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=\frac{2}{7}$

$point\ N(3,2)$

substitute

$y-2=\frac{2}{7}(x-3)$

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y-2=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}$

$y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}+2$

$y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}$

What is an explicit equation?

artcher [175]

An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.

Hope this made sense.

Make, Dan, Ed, and summer played together on a baseball team. Mike’s batting average was 0.349, dan’s was 0.2, Ed’s was 0.35, an

lawyer [7]

the highest batting average is of Ed's and that is 0.350 .

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

Here we have , Make, Dan, Ed, and summer played together on a baseball team. Mike’s batting average was 0.349, dan’s was 0.2, Ed’s was 0.35, and sy’swas 0.299. We need to find Who had the highest batting average . Let's find out :

According to question we have following parameters as :

$Mike = 0.349\\Dan's=0.200\\Ed's=0.350\\Sy'swas=0.299$

Arranging these data from decreasing to increasing order we get :

⇒ $0.200$

⇒ $(Dan's)0.200$

Therefore , the highest batting average is of Ed's and that is 0.350 .
