Answer:

a) the midpoint is (1.5, 2.5)

b) the line is y = -(7/3)*x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Suppose we have two values, A and B, the mid-value between A and B is:

(A + B)/2

Now, if we have a segment with endpoints (a, b) and (c, d), the midpoint will be in the mid-value of the x-components and the mid-value of the y-components, this means that the midpoint is:

( (c + a)/2, (b + d)/2)

a) Then if the endpoints of the segment are (-2, 1) and (5, 4), the midpoint of this segment will be:

( (-2 + 5)/2, (1 + 4)/2) = (3/2, 5/2) = (1.5, 2,5)

The midpoint of the segment is (1.5, 2.5)

b)

Now we want to find the equation of a perpendicular line to our segment, that passes through the point (1.5, 2.5).

First, if we have a line:

y = a*x + b

A perpendicular line to this one will have a slope equal to -(1/a)

So the first thing we need to do is find the slope of the graphed segment.

We know that for a line that passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d) the slope is:

slope = (c - a)/(d - b)

Then the slope of the segment is:

slope = (4 - 1)/(5 - (-2)) = 3/7

Then the slope of the perpendicular line will be:

s = -(7/3)

Then the perpendicular line will be something like:

y = -(7/3)*x + d

Now we want this line to pass through the point (1.5, 2.5), then we can replace the values of this point in the above equation, and solve for d.

2.5 = -(7/3)*1.5 + d

2.5 + (7/3)*1.5 = d = 6

Then the line is:

y = -(7/3)*x + 6

Jasmine purchased a laptop worth $1,500 in 2007. It loses its value by %32 each year. What is the value of the laptop in 2010? R
Lunna [17]

Answer:

$471.65

Step-by-step explanation:

-The value of the laptop after each year is calculated by the formula:

P_t=P_o(1-d)^t

where:

P_t is the value at time t

P_o is the initial value

d is the rate of depreciation

t is the time

#We substitute the values to solve for the value after 3 years(2010-2007=3):

P_t=P_o(1-d)^t\\\\=1500(1-0.32)^3\\\\=\$471.65

Hence, the value of the laptop in 2010 is $471.65

Solve the inequality 7(x + 4) &gt; 0.<br><br> x &lt; -4<br> x &gt; -4<br> x &lt; 4<br> x &gt; 4
spayn [35]
7(x+4)>0

Distribute 7. (multiply by x and 4)

7x+28>0

Subtract 28 on both sides.

7x>-28

Divide by 7 into both sides.

x>-4

x>-4 is the answer. 

I hope this helps!
