Into how many segments do n points divide a given line segment?

yulyashka [42]

n points would divide a given line into n+1 segments.

Just assume that you have a line and you added a point to that line, this point would divide your line into two segments.
If you add two points to a line, these two points would divide your line into three segments.
So the number of segments is always greater that the number of points by 1.

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to Y-3x+1 that passes through the point (12,-6)?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$3y + x = -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3x + 1

Required

Equation of line that passes through (12,-6) and is perpendicular to y = 3x + 1

First, the slope of the line has to be calculated;

Th slope of a line is the coefficient of x in its linear equation;

This implies that the slope of y = 3x + 1 is 3

Having calculated the slope of the first line;

The relationship between both lines are perpendicularity; this implies that $m_1 * m_2 = -1$

Where m_1 = 3 and m_2 is the slope of the secodnd line

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$ becomes

$3 * m_2 = -1$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3 *m_2}{m_2} = \frac{-1}{3}$

$m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}$

The equation of the line can be calculated using the folloing formula

$m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}$

Where $(x_1, y_1) = (12,-6)$ and $m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}$

The equation becomes

$\frac{-1}{3} = \frac{y -- 6}{x - 12}$

$\frac{-1}{3} = \frac{y + 6}{x - 12}$

Cross multiply

$-(x - 12)= 3(y + 6)$

$-x + 12=3y + 18$

Collect like terms

$12 - 18 = 3y +x$

$-6 = 3y + x$

$3y + x = -6$

Given a trapezoid with a height of 4.3m and bases of 9.2 m and 3.2m, what is the area of the trapezoid? Do not include units in

77julia77 [94]

For a height of 4.3m and bases of 9.2 m and 3.2m, the area of the trapezoid is mathematically given as

A=26.7

<h3>What is the area of the trapezoid?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the trapezoid is mathematically given as

A=0.5*(a+b)*h

Therefore

A=0.5*(3.2+9.2)*4.3

A=26.7

In conclusion,area of the trapezoid

A=26.7

Lake Michigan's volume is approximately 1,180 cubic miles and its surface area is approximately 14,332,090 acres. The 2015 water

galben [10]

Answer:

a.) depth of the lake = (volume of the lake) / area of lake

= 173,693,585,360,000 / 624,305,840,400 = 278.22 feet

b.) 11 inches = 0.9167 feet

Water gained in cubic feet gained by the lake

= 624,305,840,400 $\times$ 0.9167

= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet

c.) the percentage change in the lake volume over that year

= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet / 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet

= 0.0033

= 0.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

i) acres to square feet : 1 acre = 43560 square feet

therefore 14,332,090 acres = 624,305,840,400 square feet

ii) 1 mile = 5280 feet

1 cubic mile = 5280 $\times$ 5280 $\times$ 5280 = 147,197,952,000 cubic feet

therefore 1180 cubic miles = 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet

a.) depth of the lake = (volume of the lake) / area of lake

= 173,693,585,360,000 / 624,305,840,400 = 278.22 feet

b.) 11 inches = 0.9167 feet

Water gained in cubic feet gained by the lake

= 624,305,840,400 $\times$ 0.9167 = 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet

c.) the percentage change in the lake volume over that year

= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet / 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet

= 0.0033

= 0.33%
