Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/5x + 1

the slope here is -1/5.....a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular slope will have to be 5.....(because I flipped -1/5, making it -5/1, then I switched the sign...making it 5/1 or just 5)

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 5

(-5,1)...x = -5 and y = 1

now we sub and find b, the y int

1 = 5(-5) + b

1 = - 25 + b

1 + 25 = b

26 = b

so ur equation for the perpendicular line is : y = 5x + 26

What is the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints at<br> (-3.5, -2.1) and (5.7,3.3)?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

(1.1 , 0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint (x , y): ( x+x') /2 , (y+y') / 2

x = (-3.5 + 5.7) / 2 = 2.2 / 2 = 1.1

y = (-2.1 + 3.3) / 2 = 1.2 / 2 = 0.6
