<h3>Answer:  (2, 3)</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

For now, we're only going to consider Newmarket and Markham, which are points N and M respectively.

Let's find the slope of line NM through use of the slope formula.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (3-8)/(7-2)

m = -5/5

m = -1

Line NM has a slope of -1. Its perpendicular slope is +1 or just 1.

Rule: If the slopes multiply to -1, then the lines are perpendicular.

Or you can apply the negative reciprocal rule to go from -1 to 1.

We'll keep this perpendicular slope in mind for later.

----------------

Now let's find the midpoint of points N and M.

Add up the x coordinates and divide by 2: (x1+x2)/2 = (2+7)/2 = 4.5

Do the same for the y coordinates:  (y1+y2)/2 = (8+3)/2 = 5.5

The midpoint of N and M is at (4.5, 5.5)

The perpendicular line must go through these two points. I'm going to skip a few steps here, but basically we go from y = mx+b to y = x+1 after plugging in those x,y values and the perpendicular m we found earlier.

--------------------

In short, the perpendicular bisector for line segment NM is the equation y = x+1.

If you follow the same steps as the previous two sections, but you apply them for points M and V instead, then you should find that the perpendicular bisector is y = -3x+9. I'm skipping steps here as well.

----------------------

At this point, we have the system of equations

\begin{cases}y = x+1\\y = -3x+9\end{cases}

Let's use substitution to solve for x and y

y = x+1

-3x+9 = x+1

-3x-x = 1-9

-4x = -8

x = -8/(-4)

x = 2

y = x+1

y = 2+1

y = 3

So together, x = 2 and y = 3 pair up to get the ordered pair solution (x,y) = (2,3)

This is the location where the theme park should be placed. Let's say that C = (2,3). I'm using C for center.

You can use the distance formula to confirm that segments CN, CM and CV are all the same length, which would verify that point C is equidistant from all the other points. Furthermore, it means that points N, M and V are all on the same circle centered at C.

I know it says not to use a graph, but it still helps to see what's going on. Also, it's a handy way to confirm the answer. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. See the diagram below.

Side note: you only need 2 perpendicular bisectors to find point C. You could use three, but that's overkill since they all intersect at the same location.

What is the next number in the sequence? 3, 6, 12, , ... place an x by the pattern of the sequence. add 2 subtract 2 times 2?
ch4aika [34]
3,6,12...

this is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2. That means u multiply each term by 2 to find the next term.

start with 3
3 * 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
12 * 2 = 24...this would be ur next term

so ur answer is : multiply by 2

Yuto and Riko went for a bike ride on the same path. When Riko left their house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path. If Yuto’s a
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When Riko left his house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path.

Average speed of Riko = 0.35 miles per minute

Average speed of Yuto = 0.25 miles per minute

First we will calculate the time in which Riko will catch Yuto on the track.

Relative velocity of Riko as compared to Yuto will be = velocity of Riko - velocity of Yuto

= 0.35 - 0.25

= 0.10 miles per minute

Now we this relative velocity tells that Riko is moving and Yuto is in static position.

By the formula,

Average speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

0.10 = \frac{5.25}{t}

t = \frac{5.25}{0.1}

t = 52.5 minutes

Now we know that Rico will catch Yuto in 52.5 minutes. Before this time he will be behind Yuto.

So duration of time in which Rico is behind Yuto will be 0 ≤ t ≤ 52.5

Here time can not be less than zero because time can not be with negative notation. It will always start from 0.

Listed below are prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region. Find the​ range, variance, and standar
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option  A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a​ room, low​ prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for  prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141        

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$

Standard Deviation:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 +  2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$

Variance =

\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option  A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a​ room, low​ prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Darlene has 59 pages to type. so far she gas type 23 pages. what fraction of the job is finished ​
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

\frac{23}{59}

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction can be found be taking the current amount over the total amount:

\frac{current}{total}=\frac{23}{59}

Since Darlene has only typed 23 pages out of 59, her fraction is 23 over 59.  Fractions must always be in simplest form, which means that both the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same factor.  Since the numbers 23 and 59 are both prime and have no other factors other than 1 and themselves, the fraction 23/59 is in simplest form.
