Answer:

As the given in the statement.

5 = 8 - 6y

Hence, 6y = 8-5

              y = 3/6 = 1/2

A triangle is formed from the points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8). Find the equation of the following lines:
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Part A) y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}  

Part B)  y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}

Part C) y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8)

Part A) Find the equation of the  median from N

we Know that

The median passes through point N to midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})

M(-1,-1)

step 2

Find the slope of the segment NM

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

N(3, 2) and M(-1,-1)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-1-2}{-1-3}

m=\frac{-3}{-4}

m=\frac{3}{4}

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{3}{4}

point\ N(3, 2)

substitute

y-2=\frac{3}{4}(x-3)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y-2=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}+2

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}  

Part B) Find the equation of the  right bisector of LP

we Know that

The right bisector is perpendicular to LP and passes through midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})

M(-1,-1)

step 2

Find the slope of the segment LP

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}

m=\frac{-14}{4}

m=-\frac{14}{4}

m=-\frac{7}{2}

step 3

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{7}{2}

so

m_2=\frac{2}{7}

step 4

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{2}{7}

point\ M(-1,-1) ----> midpoint LP

substitute

y+1=\frac{2}{7}(x+1)

step 5

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y+1=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}

y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}-1

y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}

Part C) Find the equation of the altitude from N

we Know that

The altitude is perpendicular to LP and passes through point N

step 1

Find the slope of the segment LP

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}

m=\frac{-14}{4}

m=-\frac{14}{4}

m=-\frac{7}{2}

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{7}{2}

so

m_2=\frac{2}{7}

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{2}{7}

point\ N(3,2)

substitute

y-2=\frac{2}{7}(x-3)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y-2=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}

y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}+2

y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}

15% of the students in school eat hot lunch. If 60
morpeh [17]

Answer:

400 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So 15 percent is 60 students

make an equation

0.15x=60

X stands for the total amount fo students and multiply that 0.15 becuase we know ti equals 60 and finding X will solve both problems

that’ll give you 400 students

if you check

400*0.15=60

So its correct

Given that R = 8 x + 4 y Find y when x = 8 and R = 30 Give your answer as an improper fraction in its simplest form.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

y = -17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute with the givens.

30= 8(8) + 4y.

Multiply parentheses.

30 = 64 + 4y

Subtract.

30-64= -34

-34 = 4y.

Divide each side by 4.

y = - 8.5, or -17/2

hope that is right!
