Answer:

Figure 6. A perpendicular bisector constructed for line NO.

 

Solution

We know from the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem that WZ=WY. We can now set up our equation to solve for x.

WZ=WY

2x+11=4x−5

Subtract 4x from both sides.

−2x+11=−5

Subtract 11 from both sides.

−2x=−16

Divide by −2 on both sides.

x=8

Now that we have our x-value, we can substitute it in to solve for the lengths of the segments.

WZ=2x+11

WZ=2(8)+11

WZ=16+11

WZ=27

 

WY=4x−5

WY=4(8)−5

WY=32−5

WY=27

You can see here that WZ=WY, which follows the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem. that is help fo

How to wirte a linear equation from a graph
astra-53 [7]
Hey there!
I'll assume we're using the slope-intercept form equation:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
First, we keep the y, because it's value depends on the x value given.
Next, we find the slope. Slope is defined as rise/run, so we take two points on the graph, find how much taller one is from another, and how far right/left they are, put those values over each other, and we have out slope (m).
Finally, we need to determine the y-intercept, and that's as simple as seeing where the line crosses the y axis and writing down that value.
Hope this helps!

Eamon wants to buy a new baseball glove that costs $50. he has $14 and earns $6 per hour cleaning yards. How many hours must he
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The answer is that he would have to work 6 hours to have enough money to buy the glove.

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Find the amount he needs to earn by subtracting $14 from $50: 50 - 14 = 36. So he needs to earn $36.00.

2: Since you have to find the amount of hours, you can divide $6 from $36 to get the amount of hours he needs to work: 36 / 6 = 6. Eamon only gets $6.00 per hour so he would have to work 6 hours to get the $36.00.

Can Someone Please Help Me With This Question. I'll post a picture of the question ​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

y-7=3(x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of equation of line given in the problem is the point-slope form of a line. That is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We need y_1 and m (denoted by boxes)

y_1 is the y coordinate of the first set of points.

The first coordinate pair is (9,7), so y_1  would be 7

y_1=7

Now, the slope (m).

It has formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

So, x_1 = 9

y_1 = 7

x_2 = 4

y_2 = -8

Substituting, we get the slope to be:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{-8-7}{4-9}\\m=\frac{-15}{-5}\\m=3

Hence, the equation of the line in point-slope is:

y-7=3(x-9)
