Answer:

B. Alex smokes a pack of cigarettes per day even though he knows that he may face poor health down the road because of his smoking habit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time preference means that the person would like to have temporary but instant satisfaction. In this case, B would be the best choice, for Alex wants to experience the "high" (I guess?) from smoking, even when he knew that there would be health consequences down the road.

In this case, it is not:

A, for Thomas is not going to receive his reward (a profit from the investment) until later on. The money he invest is still "there", but it is technically gone into investment.

C, because this is assuming that retirement is a long way off, and that this would be a long-term investment, rather than a short term.

D, this is a long-term investment, as Sarah "hopes" that she can earn it all back in the future. With what she learns, she, in the long run, wants to find a sustainable & high-paying job.

Your answer is the last option, 6.

We can work this out by looking for the total of people that like tennis in the table, and subtracting it from the total amount of people that like baseball.

This gives us a total of 46 people that like baseball, subtract 40 people that like tennis, and 46 - 40 = 6.

I hope this helps!

D because its a triangle so it would be 3x but then you have to add the 4 for the longer side.

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

TEA [102]

Answer:

y= -2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).

Let's find the gradient of the given line.

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 -y 2}{x1 - x2} }$

Gradient of given line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 5)}{3 - ( - 9)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{3 + 9}$

$= \frac{6}{12}$

$= \frac{1}{2}$

The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.

(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular bisector

= -1 ÷(½)

= -1(2)

= -2

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2}) }$
