The answer is B. The lines of Latitude are about 69 miles apart. Each line of latitude is 1 degree of the angle of circumference of the earth, with parallel latitude lines lined up going East-West. Since the lines are stacked up north to south, your latitude describes your North/South position on the earth. Since these lines are parallel, their distance in generally constant.

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints
zzz [600]

Answer:

y= -7/2x-26/2 or y= -7/2x-13

Explanation:

To solve this question you need all of these formulas:

gradient: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} , Point-Slope y-y1=m(x-x1) ,

perpendicular m (m1)x(m2)=-1 , Midpoint (\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2} )

and equation of a line y=mx+c

where m stands for gradient

First things first.

To start you have to know the data of the line that includes the two endpoints, so you calculate its gradient (m) of this line with the gradient fromula: m=\frac{-4-(-8)}{5-(-9)} , which equals 4/14 or 2/7

(It can also be called rise/run) (Remember the rule of signs where - and - equal +)

with that information you can proceed with the point-slope or point-gradient formula, so you plug the values: y-(-8) = 2/7 (x-(-9)), which results in y+8=2/7(x+9) and then y+8=2/7x+18/7.

To finish the equation you move eight to the other side. To simplify things you can change it into a fraction as I did, and remember to change signs.

y=2/7x+18/7 -8 -> y=2/7x+18/7-56/7 . This gives us the number of y=2/7x-38/7, which is the equation of the first line.

Now to know the gradient of the second line you apply the formula of perpendicular bisector where m1 x m2 = -1. We know m1 (gradient of the first line) is 2/7, so m2 = \frac{-1}{2/7} = -7/2. m2 is therefore -7/2

Now you have to know the midpoint between the two endpoints, which will act as the start point of the perpendicular bisector

M (midpoint) = (\frac{-9+5}{2} ,\frac{8+(-4)}{2} ), which give us the coordinates of (-2, -6)

(remember, x coordinate is always first)

with this point we can apply again the point-slope formula to know the equation of the line:

y-(-6)=-7/2(x-(-2)) -> y+6=-7/2(x+2) -> y+6=-7/2x - 14/2

Move the 6 to isolate the y

y=-7/2x -14/2 - 12/2

which equals y= -7/2x -26/2

To make sure the answer is correct.

Hope it helps :)

MatroZZZ [7]

The length of the longest side of this triangle is given as 4 units.

<h3>How to solve for the longest side of the triangle.</h3>

The scale factor that we have in this question is 1/10

The longest side of the triangle can be gotten from the

scale factor x side

= 1/10 x 40

= 4 units

Hence the longest side of the triangle is 4 units.

The barringer crater in arizona is an example of possible climate change from a(n) _______.
Zarrin [17]

The Barringer crater in Arizona is an example of possible climate change from a asteroid impact. In the desert of northern Arizona, the United States, Meteor Crater, also known as Barringer Crater, is a meteorite impact crater located about 37 miles (60 kilometres) east of Flagstaff and 18 miles (29 kilometres) west of Winslow.

The location has been known by a number of other names in the past, and the meteorite shards are officially referred to as the Canyon Diablo Meteorite after the nearby Caon Diablo. The feature got its name, "Meteor Crater," from the local post office with the name Meteor since the United States Board on Geographic.
