Answer:
m = -1/2 and b = 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:
(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2
2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2
To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:
y = mx + b
8 = -1/2(-3) + b
8 = 3/2 + b
6.5 = b
so if you are asking for the distance do y2-y1/x2-x1
0-12/3-0
-12/3=-4
so -4 units
Answer:
The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.
___
The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.
Answer:
x - 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The 21st term is 137.
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic progression:
In an arithmetic progression the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and its called common difference.
The nth term is given by:

In which
is the first term and d is the common difference.
The first two terms are -3, 4.
This means that 
So


The 21st term is

The 21st term is 137.
