He traveled 2080 miles after 4 hours. He covered 3640 miles in 7 hours with a constant speed, so we can calculate the speed: 3640/7=520 miles/hour. After 4 hours, he traveled 520*4=2080 miles.

Tell whether the ratios are equivalent: 3 days to 4 hours and 9 days to 12 hours. show your work.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

write these ratios as fractions to see if they are proportional

3/4

9/12 -------> this can be simplified by dividing by 3

= 3/4

therefore yes they are equivalent

Write the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and (2, -5)

Sedbober [7]

Answer: $\bold{y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1}$

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

(4, 1) & (2, -5)

First, find the slope (m) and then the perpendicular (opposite reciprocal) slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\m=\dfrac{-5-1}{2-4} = \dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\quad \rightarrow \quad m_{\perp}=-\dfrac{1}{3}\\$

Next, find the midpoint of (4, 1) and (2, -5):

$Midpoint=\bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{4+2}{2},\dfrac{1-5}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{6}{2},\dfrac{-4}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad=(3, -2)$

Lastly, input the perpendicular slope and the midpoint into the Point-Slope formula to find the equation of the line:

$y - y_1 = m_{\perp}(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-2) = -\dfrac{1}{3}(x - 3)\\\\y + 2=-\dfrac{1}{3}x +1\\\\y =-\dfrac{1}{3}x - 1\\$
