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}.

David drops a ball from a bridge at an initial height of 100 meters.
dedylja [7]
The general formula is:
y = y_{o} + v_{o}t -  \frac{1*g*t^{2} }{2} -- (A)

Where g = 9.8 m/s/s
v_{o} = 0
y_{o} = 100

a)
Time=t=3s.
Plug-in the values in (A)
y = 100 -(1/2*9.8*3*3)
y = 100-44.1 = 55.9m

Height of the ball exactly after 3 seconds = 55.9m.

b)
At ground, y=0; Plug-in values in (A):
A=> 0 = 100 - (1/2* 9.8 * [tex]t_{2}[/text])
Therefore t = + 4.52 s and - 4.52 seconds.

As t cannot be negative, therefore:
Time when ball hits the ground = 4.52s

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

x = 7/2 y = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either use the elimiation or adding and subtracting method to get the variables for both x & y.

Once you solved for one variable, plug in the variable you just solved back into the original equation to find the other variable.

Udrey used compensation to mentally solve the subtraction problem 5.35−0.07
Licemer1 [7]
The last step you need to do is 5.25+0.03, because you took away 0.03 more than what the question asked so you need to add the 0.03 back, which gets you the final result of 5.28.
