Answer:

Y-intercept is (0,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the equation of the line segment

We have the general equation as;

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So for the slope between (9,6) and (-2,-1); we have

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-1-6)/(-2-9) = -7/-11 = 7/11

Mathematically, when two lines are perpendicular, their slopes have a product of -1

Let the slope of the second line be m

m * 7/11 = -1

7m = -11

m = -11/7

The equation of the second line is;

y = mx + b

y = -11x/7 + b

The line passes through the point (3.5,2.5)

So,

2.5 = -11/7(3.5) + b

2.5 = -5.5 + b

b = 2.5 + 5.5

b = 8

so the y-intercept of the perpendicular bisector is 8

On average, Shawnte drinks of a 6-ounce glass of water in
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

3/4 of a 6-ounce glass will be drunk by her in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given time = 2/3 of hour

                  = 2/3 (60)       As hour = 60 mins

                  = 120/3

                   = 40 mins

Given quantity of water = 1/2 of 6-ounce

                                      = 3 ounce

So,

  In 40 mins, water intake is 3 ounce

  In 1 min, water intake is 3/40

  In 60 mins, water in take is (3/40)*60 = 4.5 ounce

Quantity of water intake in 60 mins:

       4.5 ounce or 3/4 of 6-ounce glass

I hope it will help you.
