Answer:

y = - \frac{5}{4} x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector intersects the line segment at its midpoint and is perpendicular to it.

Using the midpoint formula

M = ( \frac{x_{}+x_{2}  }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2} )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 7)

midpoint = ( \frac{-1+9}{2}, \frac{-1+7}{2} ) = ( \frac{8}{2}, \frac{6}{2} ) = (4, 3 )

Calculate the slope using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 7)

m = \frac{7-(-1)}{9-(-1)} = \frac{7+1}{9+1} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{4}{5} } = - \frac{5}{4} , then

y = - \frac{5}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - 5 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 5 = 8

y = - \frac{5}{4} x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular bisector

Answer:

Place the compass at one end of line segment.

Adjust the compass to slightly longer than half the line segment length.

Draw arcs above and below the line.

Keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from other end of line.

Place ruler where the arcs cross, and draw the line segment.

The slope of a line is -4 and Y negative intercept is -3 what is the equation of the line written in slope intercept form
lord [1]

Answer:

y = mx + c

m = -4

at y intercept x = 0

(x,y) =(0,-3)

-3 = -4(0) + c

c = -3

therefore the answer is y = -4x + c

What is the average of 7.75, 7.25, 7.33, 7.6
tatuchka [14]
Average is just the total divided by the number of things you added up.

You've been given 4 numbers.

So just add 7.75+7.25+7.33+7.6 and then divide that by 4.

the answer is therefore 29.93/4

=7.4285

You can check if that seems right by just looking at the numbers, the average will be inbetween the smallest and largest numbers, so it matches up.

Which is the completely factored form of 12x3 – 60x2 4x – 20? 4(3x2 – 1)(x – 5) 4x(3x2 1)(x – 5) 4x(3x2 – 1)(x 5) 4(3x2 1)(x – 5
Neporo4naja [7]

The factors of the polynomial are \rm  4(3x^2 + 1)(x-5).

<h3>Factorization;</h3>

Factorization is nothing but writing a number as the product of smaller numbers.

Given

Polynomial;\rm 12x^3 - 60x^2 + 4x -20

To find the factorization the polynomial equates the equation with zero following all the steps given below.

Then,

The factor of the polynomial is;

\rm 12x^3 - 60x^2 + 4x -20\\\\ 12x^3(x-5)+4(x-5)\\\\(12x^3+4)(x-5)\\\\ 4(3x^2 + 1)(x-5)

Hence, the factors of the polynomial are \rm  4(3x^2 + 1)(x-5).
