Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular bisector, intersects a line at its mid point and is perpendicular to it.

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 13)

m = \frac{13-1}{9-(-7)} = \frac{12}{9+7} = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{3}{4} } = - \frac{4}{3} ←  slope of perpendicular bisector

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}  }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2} )

using (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 13) , then

midpoint = ( \frac{-7+9}{2}, \frac{1+13}{2} ) = ( \frac{2}{2}, \frac{14}{2} ) = (1, 7 )

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - \frac{4}{3} , then

y = - \frac{4}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute the midpoint (1, 7) into the partial equation

7 = - \frac{4}{3} + c ⇒ c = \frac{21}{3} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{25}{3}

y = - \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{25}{3} ← equation of perpendicular bisector

Answer:

<em>b</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>44</em><em> </em><em>feet</em><em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

BY Pythagorus theorem :-

=》

55 {}^{2}  = 33 {}^{2}   + b {}^{2}

=》

3025  = b {}^{2}  + 1089

=》

b {}^{2}  = 3025 - 1089

=》

b {}^{2}  = 1936

=》

b =  \sqrt{1936}

=》

b = 44

My name is Ann [436]
Switch sides

4/5 (x+3)=y+6

Multiply both sides by 5

5*4/5 (x+3) = 5y+5*6

Simplify

4(x+3) = 57+30

Divide both sides by 4

4(x+3)/4 = 5y/4+ 30/4

Simplify

x+3 = 5y+30/4 

Subtract 3 from both sides

x+3 - 3 = 5y+30/4 - 3

Simplify 

x=5y+30/4 - 3
