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

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

Answer:

<em>h=12, w=24, t=8</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Linear Equations </u>

We have 3 unknown variables and 3 conditions between them. They form a set of 3 equations with 3 variables.

We have the following data, being  

w = price of a sweatshirt

t = price of a T-shirt

h = price of a pair of shorts

19.

The first condition states the price of a sweatshirt is twice the price of a pair of shorts. We can write it as

\displaystyle w=2h

The second condition states the price of a T-shirt is $4 less than the price of a pair of shorts. We can write it as

\displaystyle t=h-4

The final condition states Brad purchased 3 sweatshirts, 2 pairs of shorts, and 5 T-shirts for $136, thus

\displaystyle 3w+2h+5t=136

This is the system of equations we need to solve for w,t,h

20.

To solve the system, we replace w in terms of h and t in terms of h. Those relations have been already written, so

\displaystyle 3(2h)+2h+5(h-4)=136

Operating

\displaystyle 6h+2h+5h-20=136

\displaystyle 13h=156

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=12

The other two variables are

\displaystyle w=2h=24

\displaystyle t=12-4=8

Dante is studying the growth of a particular type of plant. He is testing the effects of four growth factors: lighting, age, tem
Leya [2.2K]

The level from each growth factors is an illustration of combination

There are 90 ways of combining one level from each growth factors

<h3>How to determine the number of combination</h3>

From the complete question (see attachment), we have the number of levels in each growth factor is:

  • Lighting = 3
  • Age = 5
  • Temperature = 2
  • Humidity = 3

So, the number of combination (n) is:

n = 3 * 5 * 2 * 3

n = 90

Hence, there are 90 ways of combining one level from each growth factors
