Answer:
Slope is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
What you can do is use the first two coordinates. This would get the formula to look like this:
From here you get ⅔ for the slope.
1) slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
Let A and B be A(4,-6) and B(0,2) ;
m = [2-(-6)]/[0-4) = (2+6)/(-4) → m = -2
2) Midpoint = value of x of the midpoint = (x₁+x₂)/2
value of y of the midpoint = (y₁+y₂)/2
x(midpoint) = (4+0)/2 → x= 2
y(midpoint) = (-6+2)/2 → y= - 2, so Midpoint M(2,-2)
3) Slope of the perpendicular bisector to AB:
The slope of AB = m = -2
Any perpendicular to AB will have a slope m' so that m*m' = -1 (or in other term, the slope of one is inverse reciprocal of the second, then if m =-2, then m' = +1/2 ; Proof [ (-2)(1/2) = -1]
4) Note that the perpendicular bisector of AB passes through the midpoint of AB or M(2,-2). Moreover we know that the slope of the bisector is m'= 1/2
The equation of the linear function is :
y = m'x + b or y = (1/2)x + b. To calculate b, replace x and y by their respective values [in M(-2,2)]
2= (1/2).(-2) + b → 2 = -1 + b → and b= 3, hence the equation is:
y = (1/2)x + 3
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
The statement given is :
If a figure has three sides , it is a triangle
contrapositive statement is :
If a figure is not a triangle, then it does not have three sides.
