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.

Furkat [3]

we have (-3,10) and (7,4), then

\begin{gathered} (\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2}) \\ (\frac{-3+7}{2},\frac{10+4}{2}) \\ (\frac{4}{2},\frac{14}{2}) \\ (2,7) \end{gathered}

What is the volume of a cylinder that is 15-m tall and has a radius of 3 m. Use 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

D. 424 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder

V = \pir²h

Plug in the values we know

V = (3.14)(3²)(15)

V = 423.9 m³

This is closest to answer choice D, 424 m³

So, D is correct
