Answer:

y= -3x +40

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of perpendicular bisector:

• perpendicular to the given line

• cuts through the center of the given line

The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y -intercept.

Let's find the gradient of the given line first.

\boxed{gradient =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }

Gradient of given line

=  \frac{6 - 2}{18 - 6}

=  \frac{4}{12}

=  \frac{1}{3}

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

m(⅓)= -1

m= -1(3)

m= -3

Substitute m= -3 into the equation:

y= -3x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates in which the perpendicular bisector passes through into the equation. Since perpendicular bisectors passes through the center of the segment, we can find the point in which the perpendicular bisector passes through using the mid- point formula.

\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}

Midpoint

= ( \frac{6 + 18}{2} , \frac{6 + 2}{2} )

= ( \frac{24}{2} , \frac{8}{2} )

= (12,4)

y= -3x +c

when x= 12, y= 4,

4= -3(12) +c

4= -36 +c

c= 4 +36

c= 40

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -3x +40.

Answer:

6^27

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, we are going to use one of the laws of indices

We have this as;

(a^b)^c = a^(b * c) = a^bc

we are going to apply same here

(6^-3)^-9 = 6^(-3 * -9) = 6^27

Select the correct answer.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

R(2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a circle centered at (h,k) with radius, R, is  

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = R^2

Putting the values in formula,

(x-6)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5^2

Putting the coordinates (2, 4) of the answer B(2-6)^2 + (4-1)^2 = 25

(-4)^2 + 3^2 = 25

16 + 9 = 25

25 = 25

R.H.S = L.H.S

So according to the above solution,

B) R(2, 4), is the correct answer.

last year, debra opened an investment account with $7600. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had increased by 29.
-BARSIC- [3]

There are $9842 in her account at the end of last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount in account = $7600

Increment by the end of year = 29.5%

Amount of increase = 29.5% of amount in account

Amount of increase = \frac{29.5}{100}*7600

Amount of increase = 0.295*7600 = $2242

The increase is $2242.

Amount after increase = 7600 + 2242 = $9842

There are $9842 in her account at the end of last year.
