Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:
m=(-5-1)/(2-4)
m=-6/-2
m=3
Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1 in this case:
3m=-1
m=-1/3
So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting. The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:
mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:
mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)
mp=(6/2, -4/2)
mp=(3,-2)
So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:
y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:
-2=(-1/3)3+b
-2=-3/3+b
-2=-1+b
-1=b
So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...
y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P
y=(-x-3)/3

Sorry about the scrawly handwriting!
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split the figure into 2 trapezoids as shown.
Answer:
The first one is true, meanwhile the second is false!
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one both simplify to -3.
The second one, -6/-2 ( fraction ) simplifies to positive 3 because dividing or multiplying by 2 negative numbers cancels out the negative sign.
Hope it helps!

Answer:
B = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given that the two vertical lines are parallel. That means that the alternate interior angles are equal (they form a Z shape).
So the given is that A = B
A = 5x - 12
B = 2x + 24
Solution
5x - 12 = 2x + 24
5x - 12 = 2x + 24 + 12
5x = 2x + 36
5x - 2x = 36
3x = 36
x = 36/3
x = 12
================
B is
B = 2x + 24
B = 2*12 + 24
B = 24 + 24
B = 48
