A segment bisector makes two segments that have equal length?

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with end points M(1,5) and N(7,-1)

vitfil [10]

The perpendicular bisector of the segment passes through the midpoint of this segment. Thus, we will initially find the midpoint P:

$P=\dfrac{(1,5)+(7,-1)}{2}=\dfrac{(8,4)}{2}=(4,2)$

Now, we will calculate the slope of the segment support line (r). After this, we will use the fact that the perpendicular bisector (p) is perpendicular to r:

$m_r=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{5-(-1)}{1-7}=\dfrac{6}{-6}\iff m_r=-1$

$p\perp r\Longrightarrow m_p\cdot m_r=-1\Longrightarrow m_p\cdot(-1)=-1\iff m_p=1$

We can calculate the equation of p by using its slope and its point P:

$y-y_P=m_p(x-x_P)\\\\
y-2=1\cdot(x-4)\\\\
y-2=x-4\\\\
\boxed{p:~~y=x-2}$

How do you graph this equation -2/3y= -6

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

First, you want to get y by itself, so you will multiply by the reciprocal

( 3 /−2 )-2/-3 : (3/-2)-6

y=9 should be your answer. since there is no x value or "slope" your line will be straight.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached what your graph would look like. I hope this helps!!
