How do you find the equation of a perpendicular bisect or of a line segment?

1 answer:

8 0

You can take apart the word ‘perpendicular bisector’:

Perpendicular means at a right angle to the line.

So you would find the gradient of your line segment, assuming you were given two points along the line. Then find the negative reciprocal of this gradient to get your new gradient.

Bisector means cut in half.

So you find the midpoint of your line segment.

Now, substitute the midpoint coordinate and your new gradient into the equation of a straight line.

Hope this helps :D

Order the numbers below least to greatest<br> Please help me

n200080 [17]

The given numbers ordered from least to greatest is:

{√7 , 2.8..., π, √17, 4.6}

<h3>How to order the numbers from least to greatest?</h3>

First, we need to write all the given numbers in decimal form so we can accurately compare them.

The numbers are:

{4.6, √7, π, 2.8..., √17}

Rewriting all of these in decimal form:

√7 = 2.64

π = 3.14159265....

√17 = 4.12

Then the numbers are:

{4.6, 2.64, 3.14159265...., 2.8..., 4.12}

Now is easier to order these numbers, ordering them from least to greatest we will get:

{2.64, 2.8..., 3.14159265...., 4.12, 4.6}

Now, using the original notation we get:

{√7 , 2.8..., π, √17, 4.6}

The distribution of individual incomes in the United States is strongly skewed to the right. In 2013, the mean and median income

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The mean would be $322,343 and the median would be $196,723.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution of individual incomes is skewed to the right, it means that the distribution has a long right tail.

Drawing a distribution with this characteristic, we can see how the majority of the data falls into the left side of the graphic, meaning that a lot of people receive less income. Following this reasoning, the mean which is the amount of the data (in this case individual income) divided by the amount of people, would be the higher number, meaning that the few people who earn more money would influence in making this number higher.

Following this reasoning, the median (which is not influenced by this difference) would be the less high number.
