Answer:

Since 4 is the largest number its the hypotenuse. The two 3s are equal so they are interchangeable so it doesn't matter where you put them. If its a right triangle the hypotenuse is opposite the right angle.

-7x-6y=-1

Xelga [282]

Cancel something
we cancel x's

multiply 1st equation by 5 and 2nd by 7 and add them
-35x-30y=-5
<u>35x-28y=7 +</u>
0x-58y=2

-58y=2
divide both sides by -58
y=-1/29
sub back
5x-4(-1/29)=1
5x+4/29=1
minus 4/29 from both sides
note, 1=29/29
5x=25/29
divide bot sides by 5 (or times 1/5)
x=5/29

(5/29,-1/29)

The given line segment has a midpoint at (3, 1).

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line segment has a midpoint at (3, 1) and goes through (2, 4), (3, 1), and (4, -2). We can use any two of the three points to calculate the equation of the line. Let us use the points (2, 4) and (4, -2)

Therefore the line goes through (2, 4) and (4, -2). The equation of a line passing through $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

Therefore the line passing through (2, 4) and (4, -2) has an equation:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\frac{y-4}{x-2}=\frac{-2-4}{4-2}\\\frac{y-4}{x-2}=\frac{-6}{2}\\y-4=x-2(-3)\\y-4=-3x+6\\y=-3x+10$

Comparing with the general equation of line: y = mx + c, the slope (m) = -3 and the intercept on the y axis (c) = 10

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1. If the slope of line one is m1 and the slope of line 2 = m2, then the two lines are perpendicular if:

$m_1m_2=-1$ .

Therefore The slope (m2) of the perpendicular bisector of y = -3x + 10 is:

$m_1m_2=-1\\-3m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{1}{3}$

Since it is the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment, it passes through the midpoint (3, 1). The equation of the perpendicular bisector is:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=m\\\frac{y-1}{x-3}=\frac{1}{3}\\ y-1= \frac{1}{3}(x-3)\\ y-1=\frac{1}{3}x-1\\y=\frac{1}{3}x$
