Answer:
![[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B11.5-%282.5%2A3%29%5D%5E2%3D16)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to evaluate ![[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B11.5-%282.5%2A3%29%5D%5E2)
Let us evaluate within the parenthesis first:
![[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=[11.5-(7.5)]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B11.5-%282.5%2A3%29%5D%5E2%3D%5B11.5-%287.5%29%5D%5E2)
![\implies [11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=[11.5-7.5]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20%5B11.5-%282.5%2A3%29%5D%5E2%3D%5B11.5-7.5%5D%5E2)
We again subtract within the bracket to obtain:
![[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=[4]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B11.5-%282.5%2A3%29%5D%5E2%3D%5B4%5D%5E2)
This finally gives us:
![[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B11.5-%282.5%2A3%29%5D%5E2%3D16)
equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4)
Perpendicular bisector lies at the midpoint of a line
Lets find mid point of (-9,-8) and (7,-4)
midpoint formula is


midpoint is (-1, -6)
Now find the slope of the given line
(-9,-8) and (7,-4)


Slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal of slope of given line
So slope of perpendicular line is -4
slope = -4 and midpoint is (-1,-6)
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y - (-6) = -4(x-(-1))
y + 6 = -4(x+1)
y + 6 = -4x -4
Subtract 6 on both sides
y = -4x -4-6
y= -4x -10
equation for the perpendicular Bisector y = -4x - 10
Four is greater than y, and -1 is less than y
