write an equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints at A(-2,2) and B(5,4)

dimaraw [331]

The equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints at A(-2,2) and B(5,4) is $y - 3 = \frac{-7x}{2}+ \frac{21}{4}$

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that we have to write equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints at A(-2,2) and B(5,4)

Let us first find the slope of given line AB

The slope "m" of the line is given as:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Here the given points are A(-2,2) and B(5,4)

$\text {Here } x_{1}=-2 ; y_{1}=2 ; x_{2}=5 ; y_{2}=4$

$m=\frac{4-2}{5-(-2)}=\frac{2}{7}$

Thus the slope of line with given points is $\frac{2}{7}$

We know that product of slopes of given line and slope of line perpendicular to given line is always -1

$\begin{array}{l}{\text {slope of given line } \times \text { slope of perpendicular bisector }=-1} \\\\ {\frac{2}{7} \times \text { slope of perpendicular bisector }=-1} \\ \\{\text {slope of perpendicular bisector }=\frac{-7}{2}}\end{array}$

The perpendicular bisector will run through the midpoint of the given points

So let us find the midpoint of A(-2,2) and B(5,4)

The midpoint formula for given two points is given as:

$\text {For two points }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right), \text { midpoint } \mathrm{m}(x, y) \text { is given as }$

$m(x, y)=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)$

Substituting the given points A(-2,2) and B(5,4)

$m(x, y)=\left(\frac{-2+5}{2}, \frac{2+4}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{2}, 3\right)$

Now let us find the equation of perpendicular bisector in point slope form

The perpendicular bisector passes through points (3/2, 3) and slope -7/2

The point slope form is given as:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$\text { Substitute } \mathrm{m}=\frac{-7}{2} \text { and }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{2}, 3\right)$

$y - 3 = \frac{-7}{2}(x - \frac{3}{2})\\\\y - 3 = \frac{-7x}{2}+ \frac{21}{4}$

Thus the equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints at A(-2,2) and B(5,4) is found out

Liz is hiking a trail that is 0.8 miles long. Liz hikes the first 2 tenths of the distance by herself. She hikes the of the way

antoniya [11.8K]

0.6 miles.

Since there is 0.8 miles to hike in total, she hiked 0.2 miles.

To solve, we just easily subtract the amount that Liz hiked from the amount that needs to be hiked.

She hiked 0.2 miles, which means we need to subtract 0.2 from 0.8.

8 - 2 = 6

The answer is 0.6 miles.

A man flies a kite at a height of 16 ft. The wind is carrying the kite horizontally from the man at a rate of 5 ft./s. How fast

Talja [164]

Answer:

4.41 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a man flies a kite at a height of 16 ft. The wind is carrying the kite horizontally from the man at a rate of 5 ft./s. We are asked to find how fast must he let out the string when the kite is flying on 34 ft. of string.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the length of side x as:

$x^2+16^2=34^2$

$x^2=34^2-16^2$

$x^2=900\\\\x=30$

Now, we will use Pythagorean theorem to relate x and y because we know that the vertical side (16) is always constant.

$x^2+16^2=y^2$

Let us find derivative of our equation with respect to time (t) using power rule and chain rule as:

$2x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+0=2y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

We have been given that $\frac{dx}{dt}=5$ , $y=34$ and $x=30$ .

$2(30)\cdot 5=2(34)\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

$300=68\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{300}{68}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=4.4117647058823529$

$\frac{dy}{dt}\approx 4.41$

Therefore, the man must let out the string at a rate of 4.41 feet per second.

3. Write an expression using the fewest terms possible that is equivalent to x+x+x+x-20

Igoryamba

Answer:

4x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms (those with the same amount of variables:

x + x + x + x = 4x

4x - 20 => Note: You cannot combine these two terms, because they do not have the same amount of variables (one having one variable (x), the other being a constant (no variable) ).
