Answer: Choice (3). Draw a circle with center A and radius equal to CB.

=======================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher wasn't clear with this, but I'm assuming the distance from B to C is greater than half of AB. Otherwise, the bisection wouldn't be possible.

Assuming this is the case, drawing a circle centered at A with the same radius, will allow us to intersect the two circles at points D and E as shown below. Segment DE is the perpendicular bisector of AB. We can prove this through the use of congruent triangles. Segment DE cuts AB into two smaller equal pieces FA and FB, so FA = FB.

How do I put this in slope intercept form from the line in the graph? #4

vichka [17]

You're given the y-intercept, which is (0,5), so to complete the slope intercept form, you now need to find the slope. slope is the change in y over the change in x, so take points (4,-1) and (2,2) for instance and apply the formula; -1-2= -3 and 4-2=2, so the change in y is -3 and the change in x is 2. to find the slope, you divide change in y by change in x, which is -3/2. from here, you can gather that the slope intercept form is y= -3/2x + 5

Help asap do all show work

love history [14]

y=-x

slope for perp line = 1

2y=-x+6

y=-1/2x +3

slope for perp line = 2

15.

i don’t wanna do all sorry it’s a lot of work so i’ll tell u how to do it instead. first write it in slope intercept form which is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

it’s parallel which means it shares the same slope. if it’s perpendicular it would be opposite reciprocals so for -3/2 the perp slope would be 2/3.

the line is

y+1=3/4(x-4)

we distribute the 3/4 so it’s now

y+1=3/4x-3

then we subtract the 1

y=3/4x-4 is the equation boom done

It's really hard for me to understand what they are asking.

Answer:

B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1, 2, and 3 added together should make 180 degrees.

So, if angle 2 is 70 degrees, you subtract 70 from 180 (180-70=110) and you're left with 110 degrees.

Angle 1 and 3 add together should make 110 degrees which makes B the only true statement.
