The equation in slope intercept form of a line that is a perpendicular bisector of segment AB with endpoints A(-5,5) and B(3,-3) is y = x + 2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, two points are A(-5, 5) and B(3, -3)

We have to find the perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

Now, we know that perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of segment.

<em><u>The formula for midpoint is:</u></em>

\text { midpoint }=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)

Here x_1 = -5 ; y_1 = 5 ; x_2 = 3 ; y_2 = -3

\text { So, midpoint of } A B=\left(\frac{-5+3}{2}, \frac{5+(-3)}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-2}{2}, \frac{2}{2}\right)=(-1,1)

<em><u>Finding slope of AB:</u></em>

\text { Slope of } A B=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\text { Slope } m=\frac{-3-5}{3-(-5)}=\frac{-8}{8}=-1

We know that product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1  

So, slope of AB \times slope of perpendicular bisector = -1  

- 1 \times slope of perpendicular bisector = -1  

Slope of perpendicular bisector = 1

We know its slope is 1 and it goes through the midpoint (-1, 1)

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c

where "m" is the slope of the line and "c" is the y-intercept

Plug in "m" = 1

y = x + c   ---- eqn 1

We can use the coordinates of the midpoint (-1, 1) in this equation to solve for "c" in eqn 1

1 = -1 + c

c = 2

Now substitute c = 2 in eqn 1

y = x + 2

Thus y = x + 2 is the required equation in slope intercept form

Simplify each expression then factor the expression 14-28t-5(7+10t)
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Simplified: -21-98t

Factored: -7(14t+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expresion is:

14-28t-5(7+10t)

We expand the parenthesis to get:

14 - 28t -35 - 70t

We group like terms to get:

14 -35  - 28t- 70t

We combine similar terms to get:

- 21- 98t

We now factor to obtain:

- 21- 98t =  - 7(14t + 3)

Does the graph represent a function? <br> Yes Or No
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw a vertical line. Then check the interception between the graph and a vertical line.

If the line intercepts the graph only one point, then it is a function. Otherwise, it is not. That includes two or more.

The graph shown in the picture is a function (Cubic Function).

My daughter needs help and I don't understand the question ethier.
WINSTONCH [101]

So firstly, let's figure out the expression for a singular goody bag. Since there's 2 of each item, a single goody bag is going to be (1.07*2+0.85*2+2.12*2)

Now since we have 7 friends who are all getting 1 goody bag, multiply the cost of the goody bag by 7, and our expression is 7(1.07*2+0.85*2+2.12*2) . Now we can solve it from there.

Firstly, solve the multiplication inside the parentheses: 7(2.14+1.7+4.24)

Now add up what's inside the parentheses: 7(8.08)

Lastly, multiply and <u>your answer will be $56.56</u>
