Equation for line is given by,

(y-y1) = ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1)) * (x-x1)

Hence, y-3 = ((-8-3)/(-8+10)) * (x+10)

y-3 = (-11/2) * (x+10)

2y-6 = -11x -110

11x + 2y + 104 = 0 is the equation of the line.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

5 stickers were put in each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 56 presents and 7 gift bags. If she puts three pencils in each bag, 7 times 3 is 21. 56 presents minus 21 pencils is 35 presents left. 35 divided by 7 is 5, so there are 5 stickers in each bag.

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with the endpoints (8,10) and ( -4,2).

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The required equation is:

$y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line, the slope and y-intercept is required.

The slope can be found by finding the slope of given line segment. A the perpendicular bisector of a line is perpendicular to the given line, the product of their slopes will be -1 and it will pass through the mid-point of given line segment.

Given points are:

$(x_1,y_1) = (8,10)\\(x_2,y_2) = (-4,2)$
