Answer:

2y - 12x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient of line PQ= (7-8)/ 4+2

-1/6

gradient of perpendicular bisector of line PQ=

-1 ÷ -1/6

-1× -6

6

coordinates of the midpoint of line PQ

(-2+4)/2, (8+7)/2

(1, 15/2)

the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of line PQ

Equation of the perpendicular bisector

y - 15/2 = 6(x - 1)

multiply through by 2

2y - 15 = 12(x - 1)

2y - 15 = 12x - 12

2y - 12x = 3

A mountain climber ascends 800 feet per hour from his original position. After 6 hours, his final position is 11,600 feet above
coldgirl [10]
<span>To find the beginning position, we need to know how many feet the climber has ascended in the 6-hour time frame. At the rate of 800 feet per hour, this would total to 4,800 feet in 6 hours (800 * 6). Subtracting this amount from the final position would give the elevation at the beginning of the ascent: (11600 - 4800) = 6,800 feet above sea level to begin.</span>

Will give brainliest-H(t)=-16t^2+28t
____ [38]
For this case we have the following equation:
 H (t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 28t
 When the dolphin finishes a jump, then the height is equal to zero.
 We have then:
 -16t ^ 2 + 28t = 0
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = 0
 t2 = 1.75 s
 Therefore, the dolphin takes 1.75 seconds to make a jump.
 Answer:
 
it will take for the dolphin to make one jump about:
 
t = 1.75 s
