Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Long way:

Find the midpoint (M) of AB, find the slope(m) of the line AB, then find the equation of the line through M with slope -1/m, which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Short way:

The perpendicular bisector of (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂): 2(x₂-x₁)x + 2(y₂-y₁)y = x₂²-x₁²+y₂²-y₁².

Here this is 2(1-(-4))x + 2(6-4)y = 1²-(-4)²+6²-4² which is 10x + 4y = 5.

Given the system of equations presented here:

Nata [24]

2x + 4y = 14
4x + y = 20......multiply by -4
----------------
2x + 4y = 14
-16x - 4y = -80 (result of multiplying by -4)
---------------add
-14x = -66....as u can see, ur y's cancel out

so ur answer is : 1st answer choice <==

** and just so u know, u could have multiplied the 1st equation by -2, and it would have cancelled out ur x's

Evaluate each expression g5-h3 if g=2 and h=7

vovangra [49]

Look at it this way:
g=2
H=7
so it would be 2*5-7*3
than just do the multiplication first so 2*5=10 and 7*3=21 than subtract the two 10-21=-11

Why do the inequality signs stay the same in the last two steps of exercise 1

MrRissso [65]

The only reason an inequality would change would be because a number is divided or multiplied by a negative number. So if it stayed the same, then it would be because there was no division or multiplication by a negative number. Hope I helped :)
