Answer:

<h2>          y = - 2x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation in point-slope form of the line passing through point <em>P(x₁, y₁)</em> with slope <em>m</em>:   y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = -2

P(-3, 6)  ⇒   x₁ = -3,  y₁ = 6

y - 6 = -2(x - (-3))

y - 6 = -2(x + 3)  ←    point-slope form

y - 6 = -2x - 6        {add 6 to both sides}

y = - 2x                 ←    slope-intercept form {intercept=0}

Which points are on the perpendicular bisector of the given segment? Check all that apply. Please explain how you got your answe
ser-zykov [4K]
First, you have to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of this given line. 
to do that, you need the slope of the perpendicular line and one point.
Step 1: find the slope of the given line segment. We have the two end points (10, 15) and (-20, 5), so the slope is m=(15-5)/(10-(-20))=1/3
the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, m=-3/1=-3 
step 2: find the middle point: x=(-20+10)/2=-5, y=(15+5)/2=10      (-5, 10)
so the equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form is (y-10)=-3(x+5)

now plug in all the given coordinates to the equation to see which pair fits:
(-8, 19): 19-10=9, -3(-8+5)=9, so yes, (-8, 19) is on the perpendicular line. 

try the other pairs, you will find that (1,-8) and (-5, 10) fit the equation too. (-5,10) happens to be the midpoint.

Please please help please ASAP
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

VT = 50√3 , PT = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

PV = 100

With reference angle 60°

hypotenuse (h) = 100

perpendicular (p) = ?

Now

Sin 60° = p/h

√3 / 2 = p / 100

p = √3 * 100 / 2

p = 50√3

Also

With reference angle 30°

hypotenuse (h) = 100

perpendicular (p) = ?

sin 30° = p/h

1/2 = p / 100

p = 100 / 2

p = 50

Hope it will help :)

Find the equation of the line described.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x +5

current slope m is 3, perpendicular is opposite inverse which is -1/3

Passing through (6,2):

y = mx + b

2 = -1/3(6) + b

2 = -2 + b

b = 4

Use the perpendicular m = -1/3 and b = 4 to form equation of line:

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + 4

How many sectors would be formed by a circle if each sector had a central angle of 30 degrees
Law Incorporation [45]
there are 360 degress in a circle if you cut a circle in half at its center aka its diameter the center angle would be 180 degree or a straight line 360/2 180 and a circle divide into 2 sectors so your questoin would be equal algebraically to 360x=30 360 is the totatal number degrees in every circle 30 is the resulting degree and x is the length of each of the sectors if you solve yo get 1/12 thus total sectors would be 12
