Answer:

p = -4, q = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x +4 ... (1) perpendicular bisector of AB, slope = -2

slope of AB = 1/2

Line AB pass (8,3): (y-3) / (x-8) = 1/2

AB equation: y-3 = 1/2(x-8) y = 1/2x - 1 ... (2)

(2)-(1): 5/2 x = 5 x = 2

y = 0 (2,0) intercept of bisector and AB, it is midpoint of A (8,3) and (p,q)

(8+p)/2 = 2

p = -4

(3+q)/2 = 0

q = -3

Which ordered pair is a solution of the system of a linear equation below? Y= 1/4x +2 y= x-1

Tanya [424]

Answer: x = 4, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+2$ and $y=x-1$

Using substitution method we get:

$x-1=\dfrac{1}{4}x+2\\\\\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{1}{4}x\ \text{from both sides}\rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}x-1=2\\\\\text{add 1 to both sides}\rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}x=3\\\\\text{multiply both sides by 4}\rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\text{divide both sides by 3}\rightarrow x=4\\\\\text{Insert x = 4 into one of the original equations to solve for y:}\\y=x-1\\y =(4)-1\\y=3$

Andrew purchased a car for $19,500 the value of the car depreciates at a rate of 8.6% each year. which equation models the value

pav-90 [236]

If the value depreciates 8.6%, it is 91.4% of what it was the year before. The value can be modeled by
y = 19500(0.914)^x

Which reason justifies the last step in a proof that ∆DEF ≅ ∆DAB?

lesya [120]

Hey there, Sheriawilright!

The correct answer should be C since we are given two sides AD is congruent to ED and D is the midpoint of Line BF meaning that BD and BF are the same. Also, it makes both lines make a vertical angle meaning they are the same. So we have two sides and an angle between, so the answer is Side Angle Side.
