9 x 2 = 18
6 x 3 = 18
and 18 x 1 = 18
First, you have to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of this given line.
to do that, you need the slope of the perpendicular line and one point.
Step 1: find the slope of the given line segment. We have the two end points (10, 15) and (-20, 5), so the slope is m=(15-5)/(10-(-20))=1/3
the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, m=-3/1=-3
step 2: find the middle point: x=(-20+10)/2=-5, y=(15+5)/2=10 (-5, 10)
so the equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form is (y-10)=-3(x+5)
now plug in all the given coordinates to the equation to see which pair fits:
(-8, 19): 19-10=9, -3(-8+5)=9, so yes, (-8, 19) is on the perpendicular line.
try the other pairs, you will find that (1,-8) and (-5, 10) fit the equation too. (-5,10) happens to be the midpoint.
Answer:
-2/3(negative two over three)
Step-by-step explanation:
-1+1/3 we cross multiply,which will be-3+1/3 =2/3
dose that make sense???
Answer:
a=2
Step-by-step explanation:
8a +9=3a +19
Subtract 9 from both sides
-9= -9
8a=3a +10
Subtract -3a from both sides
5a=10
5a=10
5a divided by both sides
5/5
10/5=2
a=2
