Hello, hope this makes some sense, the midpoint formula is what’s given in the picture and the rest is just substitution
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 1. => Slope = -2
Then the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/(-2) = 0.5.
We have y = 0.5x + c.
When x = 4, y = -3.
=> (-3) = 0.5(4) + c, c = -5.
Hence the answer is y = 0.5x - 5. (C)
It looks like it goes through (0,-3) and (1,2), so the gradient is (change in y)/(change in x) ->
(-3-2)/(0-1) = 5
So y=5x+b
Then as we know it passes the y axis at (0,-3) so b= -3
So we have y=5x-3
From one vertex of an octagon you can draw 5 diagonals.
There are 8 vertices in an octagon, and we are choosing one as our starting vertex. There are then 7 vertices left to draw a line to, but 2 of the vertices are already connected to our main vertex (because they are connected along the side of the octagon). That leaves 5 vertices to draw a diagonal to from our original vertex.
