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}.

14+14p=21 solve for p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to solve the following equation for <em>p. </em>Let's first switch 14 and 14p around so we have 14p + 14 = 21.

<em />

To solve this equation for <em>p</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>p</em> which in this case is 14p.

Since 14 is being added to 14p, we need to subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.

14p + 14 = 21

        -14   -14

On the left side of the equation, the positive 14 and negative 14 cancel each other out and we have 14p. On the right side of the equation, we hav 21 - 14 which gives us 7.

Now we have the equation 14p = 7.

Since <em>p</em> is being multiplied by 14, to get <em>p</em> by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 14.

On the left side of the equation the 14's cancel and we are left with <em>p</em>. On the right side of the equation, 7 divided by 14 is 0.5 which is our answer.

Therefore, p = 0.5 which is the solution for our equation.

Remember, you can always check your solution by substituting a number in for a variable to make sure the equation is true.

What are equivalent expression for 6x+1-(3x-1)
beks73 [17]

Answer:

3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 1 - (3x-1) < distribute the negative sign into the expression

6x + 1 -3x + 1 < combine like terms

6x - 3x = 3x

1 + 1 = 2

our simplified expression is:

3x + 2
