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

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

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

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

How to write a decimal as a fraction?

love history [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert Decimals to Fractions

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1.

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.)

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

7 hot dogs, 4 wings

5 hotdogs, 5 wings

Step-by-step explanation:

4H + 7W 《56

H = 7, W = 4

4(7) + 7(4) = 56《56

H = 5 , W = 5

4(5) + 7(5) = 55《56
