How do I find the equation of the perpendicular bisector between (-2,5) and (2,-1)?

Answer:

y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope of the given line.

\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }

Slope of given line

=  \frac{5 - ( - 1)}{ - 2 - 2}

=  \frac{5 + 1}{ - 4}

=  \frac{6}{ - 4}

=  -  \frac{3}{2}

A perpendicular bisector cuts through the line at its midpoint perpendicularly.

The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of the perpendicular bisector be m.

-  \frac{3}{2} m =  - 1

m =  - 1 \div ( -  \frac{3}{2} )

m =  - 1 \times ( -  \frac{2}{3} )

m =  \frac{2}{3}

y =  \frac{2}{3}x  + c, where c is the y-intercept.

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that lies on the perpendicular bisector into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, we can use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates.

\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x _{1} + x _2}{2} , \frac{y_1  + y_2}{2} )}

Midpoint of given line

=  ( \frac{ - 2+ 2}{2} , \frac{5 - 1}{2} )

=( \frac{0}{2} , \frac{4}{2} )

= (0, 2)

y =  \frac{2}{3} x + c

When x= 0, y= 2,

2= ⅔(0) +c

2= 0 +c

c= 2

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 2.

What can you predict regarding the probability of the
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The frequency does not change with more trials

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict: the probability of the coin landing heads up

Solution:

Probability refers to the chances that an event will occur in an experiment. The value of probability lies between 0 and 1. 0 indicates impossible event and 1 indicates a sure event. The probability of an event can not be greater than 1.

When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H), tails (T).

In case of the probability of the coin landing heads up, the frequency does not change with more trials.

What’s the correct answer for this question?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

C:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both angles add up to 180°

<BCG + <BFG = 180°

2x+146+4x+238=180

6x+384 = 180°

6x = 180-384

6x = -204

Dividing both sides by 6

x = -34
