Answer:
If we assume that everyone in the group is an owner, we would have
legs.
legs
Therefore, we need 24 more legs.
These 24 additional legs can be made from the difference of legs between the owners and dogs.
In this case, dogs have more legs than an owner.
24 ÷ 2 = 12.
There are 12 dogs in the group.
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular bisector, intersects a line at its mid point and is perpendicular to it.
Calculate slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 13)
m = =
=
=
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= -
← slope of perpendicular bisector
Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
(,
)
using (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 13) , then
midpoint = ( ,
) = (
,
) = (1, 7 )
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - , then
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute the midpoint (1, 7) into the partial equation
7 = - + c ⇒ c =
+
=
y = - x +
← equation of perpendicular bisector
