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

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Juliette [100K]

start by writing the multiplication in this form

start multiplying from right to left.

3\cdot0=0

write the first number down

continue by multiplying the next number from right to left

8\cdot3=24

write the number down, since there are no more numbers to multiply for write the wole number

this means that

80\cdot3=240

Which of the following shows the polynomial 3x^3 - 5x + x^7 + 9 + 4x^11 written in descending order?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

4x^11+x^7+3x^3-5x+9

Its highest to lower based on the exponential number

our exponential numbers are: 3, 1, 7,0,11 putting those from highest to lowers would put them: 4x^11+x^7+3x^3-5x+9
