Answer:

  2x +y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The bisector must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line between these points. It must pass through the midpoint of the segment.

The slope of the line through the given points is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  = (5 -(-1))/(4 -(-8)) = 6/12 = 1/2

The slope of the required bisector is then ...

  m = -1/(1/2) = -2

__

The midpoint of the given segment is ...

  ((-8, -1) +(4, 5))/2 = (-8+4, -1+5)/2 = (-4, 4)/2 = (-2, 2)

__

Then the point-slope form of the equation of the bisector is ...

  y -y1 = m(x -x1)

  y -2 = -2(x -(-2))

  y = -2x -4 +2

  y = -2x -2 . . . . . . . slope-intercept form equation

  2x +y = -2 . . . . . . . standard form equation

Answer:

A.

{b}^{2}  + 3b - 3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

{b}^{2}  + 3b - 3 = 0 \\ because \:  \:  {b}^{2}  < 4ac \\ {b}^{2}    = {3}^{2}  = 9 \\ 4ac = 4 \times 1 \times  - 3 =  - 12 \\ hence :  {b}^{2}  < 4ac

Write the simplified form of -64^1/3
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Factor by the numbers from left to right.</em>

<em>64^\frac{1}{3}</em>

<em>64=4^3</em>

<em>(\frac{4}{3})^\frac{1}{3}=4^3^*^\frac{1}{3}=4</em>

<em>It changes to positive to negative.</em>

<em>-4</em>

<em>-4 is the correct answer.</em>
