Question

Please please help how do u this?

Answer 1

Question

Answer 2

Find these:

1) the midpoint of segment HK

2) the slope of segment HK


Post what you get.

Then, the equation of the perpendicular-bisector can be written.

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

midepoint is 4.5,-4

Answer 5

slope is 2/5

Answer 6

To get the equation of the perpendicular-bisector, recall that the slopes of perpendicular lines multiply to -1.

If the slope of segment HK is 2/5, then the slope of the line we are finding = -5/2.

Answer 7

The task comes down to writing an equation of a line with slope -5/2 and passing through the point (4.5,-4).

y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point (4.5,-4).

Answer 8

oh okay

Answer 9

so i plug in the midpoint and slope into to formula?

Answer 10

>>slope is 2/5

This is not correct, I think.

Check your slope calculation, okay?

Answer 11

-2/5

Answer 12

No.

Look at attachment.

Answer 13

-5/-2

Answer 14

do u want me to solve the problem?

Answer 15

The slope of the segment HK is still not correct.

Answer 16

i really don't know how to get the slope
