What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment?

A.y = −4x − 4
B.y = −4x − 6
C.y = x – 4
D.y = x – 6
The given line segment has a midpoint at (−1, −2). - 1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Step 1

Find the slope of the given line

Let

A(-5,-3)\ B(3,-1)

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

substitute the values

m=(-1+3)/(3+5)

m=(2)/(8)

m=(1)/(4)

Step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular bisector

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

m1*m2=-1

In this problem

m1=(1)/(4) -----> slope of the given line

Find m2

m2=-1/m1

substitute

m2=-1/(1/4)=-4

Step 3

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector

we have

m2=-4

point(-1,-2)

The equation of the line into slope-intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

substitute the values and find the value of b

-2=(-4)(-1)+b

-2=4+b

b=-6

the equation of the line is

y=-4x-6

therefore

the answer is the option B

y=-4x-6

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Answer 2
Answer: The answer is B- y = −4x − 6

Three years ago, Jolene bought $750 worth of stock in a software company. Since then the value of her purchase has been increasing at an average rate of 12

% per year. How much is the stock worth now? (Round each money calculation you make to the nearest cent.)
please help

Answers

Ok, so if it has increased over three years by twelve percent, take .12 (12% in decimal form) and multiply it by 750 to get 90. Take 90 and multiply it by 3 to get 270. 270 is how much the value has increased over 3 years. So then just add 270 to 750 to get your answer of 1020. 1020 is how much the stock is worth after 3 years increasing at 12%. Just follow the same steps for 2% and 5% as I showed you with the 12%.

You need 2 eggs for a muffin recipe that makes 12 muffins. If you want to make 36 muffins, what should you do?

Answers

Solve:-

36  ÷ 12 = 3
3 batches of 12 muffins each.

2 × 3 = 6
You will need 6 eggs to make 36 muffins, when using 2 eggs per 12 muffins.

CHECK OUR WORK:-

6 / 2 = 3
We were RIGHT!!!!

So, to make 36 muffins you need 6 eggs.

Hope I helped ya!! xD
You have to multiply ×3 if you want to make 36 muffins because: 36÷12=3 ( to find how many times you will multiply)
-> So if you need 2 eggs for 12 muffins then you will need 6 eggs for 36 muffins because: 2×3=6

at Mary's party 4/8 of the guest had chocolate ice cream and 3/8 of the guest had strawberry ice cream . what fraction of the ice cream was either chocolate or strawberry

Answers

7/8 because you add 4/8 and 3/8 together which is equal to 7/8.
7/8 I believe, as 4/8 had chocolate ice cream and 3/8 had strawberry and we don't know what the remaining 1/8 had, so just add who had strawberry and who had chocolate together and that will give you the probability.
