A^2 + 5^2 = 10^2
a^2 + 25 = 100
a^2 = 100-25
a^2 = 75
a = sqrt(75) = 5sqrt(3)
answer is A
Answer:
m = -1/2 and b = 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:
(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2
2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2
To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:
y = mx + b
8 = -1/2(-3) + b
8 = 3/2 + b
6.5 = b
First, we solve for the number of minutes in 7 and 3/5 hours by multiplying the number by 60 giving us,
(7 + 3/5) x (60) = 456 minutes
Spending 30 minutes for lunch will leave her with 426 minutes. Then, spending 42 minutes for switching of classes will finally give her 414 minutes.
We then divide this value by 6 (for her 6 classes) giving us 69 minutes. Thus, each class is 69 minutes long.
X would have to be less than 12, y would have to be less than 6. So a graph displaying x less than or equal to 12 and y less than or equal to 6.
