Answer:

1) The slope of the line segment AB is \frac{4}{3}.

2) The length of the line segment AB is 10.

3) The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB is M(x,y) = (5,7).

4) The slope of a line perpendicular to line segment AB is -\frac{3}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let A(x,y) = (2,3) and B(x,y) = (8,11). From Analytical Geometry, we get that slope of AB (m_{AB}), dimensionless, is determined by the following formula:

m_{AB} = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}} (1)

If we know that x_{A} = 2, x_{B} = 8, y_{A} = 3 and y_{B} = 11, the slope of the line segment is:

m_{AB} = \frac{11-3}{8-2}

m_{AB} = \frac{4}{3}

The slope of the line segment AB is \frac{4}{3}.

2) The length of the line segment AB (l_{AB}), dimensionless, can be calculated by the Pythagorean Theorem:

l_{AB} =\sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}} (2)

If we know that x_{A} = 2, x_{B} = 8, y_{A} = 3 and y_{B} = 11, the length of the line segment AB is:

l_{AB} = \sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(11-3)^{2}}

l_{AB} = 10

The length of the line segment AB is 10.

3) The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB are, respectively:

x_{M} = \frac{x_{A}+x_{B}}{2} (3)

y_{M} = \frac{y_{A}+y_{B}}{2} (4)

If we know that x_{A} = 2, x_{B} = 8, y_{A} = 3 and y_{B} = 11, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB are, respectively:

x_{M} = \frac{2+8}{2}

x_{M} = 5

y_{M} = \frac{3+11}{2}

y_{M} = 7

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB is M(x,y) = (5,7).

4) From Analytical Geometry we can determine the slope of a line perpendicular to line segment AB as a function of the slope of the line segment:

m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m_{AB}} (5)

If we know that m_{AB} = \frac{4}{3}, then the slope of a line perpendicular to AB is:

m_{\perp} = - \frac{1}{\frac{4}{3} }

m_{\perp} = -\frac{3}{4}

The slope of a line perpendicular to line segment AB is -\frac{3}{4}.

Is x a solution to 80&lt;-9x+8
saveliy_v [14]

Answers: x

1. Switch sides

-9x+8>80

2. Subtract by 8 from both sides of equation.

-9x+8-8>80-8

3. Simplify.

-9x>72

4. Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation. (it's should be the reverse inequality).

(-9x)(-1)

5. Simplify.

9x

6. Then you had to divide by 9 from both sides of equation.

\frac{9x}{9}< \frac{-72}{9}

7. Simplify.

\frac{9x}{9}=x

8. Divide by the numbers.

\frac{9}{9}=1

=x

\frac{-72}{9}=-8

9. Divide by the numbers.

\frac{72}{9}=8

=-8

x

You spent 1/2 of your money at the theater and 1/4 at an arcade. you have $17.50 left. How much money did you originally have?
4vir4ik [10]
You basically add 17.50+17.50=35 and add 35+35=70, reason being is because the 35 is the 1/2 and 17.50 is the 1/4 so 70 is your answer
