Answer:
y = M X + B
Step-by-step explanation:
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
x1 = 2
y1 = 5
m = 1/7
y - 5 = (1/7) (x - 2)
Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:
m=(-5-1)/(2-4)
m=-6/-2
m=3
Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1 in this case:
3m=-1
m=-1/3
So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting. The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:
mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:
mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)
mp=(6/2, -4/2)
mp=(3,-2)
So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:
y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:
-2=(-1/3)3+b
-2=-3/3+b
-2=-1+b
-1=b
So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...
y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P
y=(-x-3)/3
A, because parallelogram is the same as a rectangle, just tilted a bit. therefore the method is just base X height.
Answer:
y=-2/3x - 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y=15x+185
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add -x to both sides.
x−5y+−x=−18+−x
−5y=−x−18
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.
−5y−5=−x−18−5
y=15x+185
