A bus departed from New York at 11 pm with 44 passengers. An hour later, a few passengers got off at New Jersey. The number of p

assengers who boarded the bus at New Jersey were twice the number of passengers who got off the bus. If the bus has 50 passengers now, how many passengers got off at New Jersey?

Answer:

6 got off at NJ

Step-by-step explanation:

if u write an equation it would be 44-x+2x=50. -x+2x=x so the equation would now be 44+x=50. If you subtract both sides by 44, it would be x=6. x was the number of people that got off at NJ so 6 people got off there.

Hope this helps!

Triangle ABC has vertices A(-3,0) B(0,6) C(4,6). Find the equations of the three medians of triangle ABC
Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.y=-6x+6, y=\frac{6}{5} x+\frac{18}{5}, y=\frac{6}{11} x+\frac{42}{11}

2.y=-\frac{1}{2} x+2\frac{1}{4} , x=2, y=-\frac{7}{6}x+\frac{43}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

A(−3, 0), B(0, 6), and C(4, 6)

using the midpoint formula: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) we can find all of their midpoint which is necessary to complete question 1 and 2

Mid AB=(-1.5, 3), Mid BC=(2, 6), Mid AC=(0.5,3)

Next, we have to find the slope of from the vertex and the midpoint of each side. We use the slope formula: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

You would get -6, 6/5, and 6/11.

Next you substitute in the coordinates for the equation of each for example: y=-6x, you switch in the set of cords AB which is (-1.5, 3). 3=-6(-1.5)+z and find that z=6, so the equation is y=-6x+6. As for the rest, repeat the same process until you find all 3 cords. You should get an answer of y=-6x+6, y=\frac{6}{5} x+\frac{18}{5}, y=\frac{6}{11} x+\frac{42}{11}

For question 2,

The line has to be perpendicular bisector to the midpoint, signifying that it has to split 2 angles into congruent angles and a side into half. In order to do that we need to first find the opposite reciprocal of each side's slope. Which means we need to once again use the slope formula and get the opposite reciprocal by -\frac{1}{slope}. For all the opposite reciprocal slopes you get will be incorporated into the final formulas. That gives us the slopes of -1/2, 0 and -7/6. Then do the same process of matching cords with these incomplete equations and you can find the final equations of y=-\frac{1}{2} x+2\frac{1}{4} , x=2, y=-\frac{7}{6}x+\frac{43}{12}

I hope that helped with your question!! :)

Also I'm an RSM student too and I didn't know how to do them before so I searched it up.

No, he is not correct. The lines are the same, so there are an infinite number of solutions.

When two lines are parallel, then the solution is empty set.
