Given:

Line segment NY has endpoints N(-11, 5) and Y(3,-3).

To find:

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of NY.

Solution:

Midpoint point of NY is

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-11+3}{2},\dfrac{5-3}{2}\right)

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-8}{2},\dfrac{2}{2}\right)

Midpoint=\left(-4,1\right)

Slope of lines NY is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{-3-5}{3-(-11)}

m=\dfrac{-8}{14}

m=\dfrac{-4}{7}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So,

m_1\times \dfrac{-4}{7}=-1

m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}

The perpendicular bisector of NY passes through (-4,1) with slope \dfrac{7}{4}. So, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is

y-y_1=m_1(x-x_1)

y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}(x-(-4))

y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}(x+4)

y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}x+7

Add 1 on both sides.

y=\dfrac{7}{4}x+8

Therefore, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is y=\dfrac{7}{4}x+8.

How do you solve thsi
VLD [36.1K]
You multiply the length of the model car by the meters from the actual car. It’s easier to convert one unit of measurement to match with the other. I found it easier to convert 18.2 cm to meters which is 0.182 m. Now we multiply 0.182m by 0.3m to get the length of the actual car.

The answer would be 0.0546m. Or if you prefer centimeters, then the answer would be 5.46 cm. Either way is fine.

Hope this helped, please let me know if I was correct. :D

-3b+7=13 solve for b
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

b =-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3b+7=13

Subtract 7 from each side

-3b+7-7=13-7

-3b = 6

Divide each side by -3

-3b/-3 = 6/-3

b = -2
