Points (1, 7) and (-3, 2)
Slope for a line between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) , m = (y₂ -y₁) / (x₂- x₁)
The slope for the line joining the two points = (2 - 7) / (-3 - 1) = -5/-4
Slope = 5/4
Hence the perpendicular bisector would have a slope of -1/(5/4) = -4/5
By condition of perpendicularity
For points (1, 7) and (-3, 2),
Formula for midpoints for (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁ +x₂)/2 , (y₁+ y₂)/2)
Midpoint for (1, 7) and (-3, 2) = ((1+ -3)/2 , (7+2)/2) = (-2/2, 9/2)
= (-1, 9/2)
Since the slope of perpendicular bisector is -4/5 and passes through the midpoint (-1, 9/2)
Equation y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 9/2 = (-4/5) (x - -1)
y - 9/2 = (-4/5)(x + 1)
5(y - 9/2) = -4(x + 1)
5y - 45/2 = -4x - 4
5y = -4x - 4 + 45/2
5y + 4x = 45/2 - 4
5y + 4x = 22 1/2 - 4 = 18 1/2
5y + 4x = 37/2
10y + 8x = 37
The equation of the line to perpendicular bisector is 10y + 8x = 37
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
x+2x=24
x=8
2x=raisins=16
SA formula: Ph + 2B
B is the trapezoid side.
using the formula:
(3+4+5+6)*5 + 2(16) = 126 cm^2
Using a system of equations, it is found that she has 9 picture books.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Number of picture books.
- Variable y: Number of encyclopedias.
- Variable z: Number of fairy tale books.
The ratio of the number of picture books encyclopedias, and fairy tale books Annette had is 3:4:5, hence:

She gave half of her encyclopedias to her brother and he gave her 5 books of fairytales. Now she has 14 more books of fairy tales than encyclopedias, hence:
z + 5 - 0.5y = 14.
z - 0.5y = 9
From the ratios, we have that:

Hence we solve for x to find the number of picture books:


x = 9.
