The ordered pairs for the intercepts are as follows:
x intercept = 9/2
y intercept = -18
In order to find either of these you must put 0's in for the other variable. So, to find the x intercept, we start by putting 0 in for y.
y = 4x - 18
0 = 4x - 18
-4x = -18
x = 9/2
To find the y intercept, we put a 0 in for x.
y = 4x - 18
y = 4(0) - 18
y = 0 - 18
y = -18
7. 3/4 x 12 is 9 so subtract 9/12 from 12/12 to get 3/12
8. Their pizzas were all cut differently. Josh’s pizza was cut in half, Lisa’s was cut into 6 slices and Vicki’s was cut in 8 slices
Answer:
D. Open the compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of
.
Step-by-step explanation:
To construct a perpendicular for
, we must first take a compass & take the distance of its arms wider than half the length of
.
This is done in order to get two intersecting arcs in the top & bottom of
so that a perpendicular bisector can be drawn through it.
After two intersecting lines are drawn below & above
, draw a line joining these 2 points through their points of intersection. The point where it intersects
is the middle-most point of
& now a perpendicular bisector of
is constructed.
