Answer:

The required equation is:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line, the slope and y-intercept is required.

The slope can be found by finding the slope of given line segment. A the perpendicular bisector of a line is perpendicular to the given line, the product of their slopes will be -1 and it will pass through the mid-point of given line segment.

Given points are:

(x_1,y_1) = (8,10)\\(x_2,y_2) = (-4,2)

We will find the slope of given line segment first

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{2-10}{-4-8}\\=\frac{-8}{-12}\\=\frac{2}{3}

Let m_1 be the slope of perpendicular bisector then,

m.m_1 = -1\\\frac{2}{3}.m_1 = -1\\m_1 = \frac{-3}{2}

Now the mid-point

(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\= (\frac{8-4}{2} , \frac{10+2}{2})\\=(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\=(2,6)

We have to find equation of a line with slope -3/2 passing through (2,6)

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is given by:

y = m_1x+b

Putting the value of slope

y= -\frac{3}{2}x+b

Putting the point (2,6) to find the y-intercept

6 = -\frac{3}{2}(2)+b\\6 = -3+b\\b = 6+3 =9

The equation is:

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

Where are the values of B?
In order for X to be parallel to B you must have the values for B first. Then they will have the same slope.

64 ounces in 8 cups unit rate
Veseljchak [2.6K]
So the unit rate is basically how many ounces in 1 cup?

So since there are 64 ounces in 8 cups, you can just divide by 8, to find how many sets of 8 there are in 64.

64 = 8

64 / 8 = 8 / 8

8 = 1

So there are 8 ounces in 1 cup, which is your unit rate.

Area of the shaded segment=
garik1379 [7]

The area of the entire sector is (\pi)(6^{2}) \left(\frac{60}{360} \right)=6\pi

The area of the triangle OAB is \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(6^{2})=9\sqrt{3}.

So, the area of the segment is \boxed{6\pi-9\sqrt{3}}
