Answer: The line connecting the point and the line is perpendicular to the original line.

Step-by-step explanation:

(Forgot the name but there is also a theorem stating that the shortest distance between a point and a line is the one that is perpendicular)

Find an equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4
Alina [70]

equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4)

Perpendicular bisector lies at the midpoint of a line

Lets find mid point of  (-9,-8) and (7,-4)

midpoint formula is

\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

\frac{-9+7}{2} ,\frac{-8+-4}{2}

midpoint is (-1, -6)

Now find the slope of the given line

(-9,-8) and (7,-4)

slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{-4-(-8)}{7-(-9)}

slope = \frac{-4+8}{7+9}= \frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}

Slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal of slope of given line

So slope of perpendicular line is -4

slope = -4  and midpoint is (-1,-6)

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y - (-6) = -4(x-(-1))

y + 6 = -4(x+1)

y + 6 = -4x -4

Subtract 6 on both sides

y = -4x -4-6

y= -4x -10

equation for the perpendicular Bisector y = -4x - 10

Consider ΔABC, where ∠C = 90° and ∠A + ∠B = 90°. Click on the statements that are true about the relationships of the angles Ang
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Angles A and B are complementary angles

If Sin A ≈ 0.766 then Cos B ≈ 0.766.

If Cos B ≈ 0.766 then Sin A ≈ 0.766

Step-by-step explanation: In any given right angled triangle, one angle measures 90 degrees while the addition of the other two angles equals to 90 degrees. Hence if angle C is given as 90 degrees, then angles A and B added together equals 90 degrees (complementary angles equal 90 degrees).

Also, Sin A cannot be the same value as Sin B, since angle A and angle B are not equal in measurement. However, being complementary, the Sin of angle A equals the Cos of angle B.

If Sin A ≈ 0.766, then angle A ≈ 50 degrees

That makes angle B equal to 40 degrees. The Cos of B ≈ 0.766

Therefore if Sin A ≈ 0.766, then Cos B ≈ 0.766

If Cos B ≈ 0.766 then Sin A ≈ 0.766 are both correct
