A line segment AB has the coordinates A (2,3) AND B ( 8,11) answer the following questions (1) What is the slope of AB? (2) What is the length of AB? (3) What are the coordinates of the mid point of AB?(4) What is the slope of a line perpendicular to AB ?

Given:

Endpoints of a line segment AB are A(2,3) and B(8,11).

To find:

(1) Slope of AB.

(2) Length of AB.

(3) Midpoint of AB.

(4) Slope of a line perpendicular to AB.

Solution:

We have, endpoints of line segment AB, A(2,3) and B(8,11).

(1)

Slope of AB is

Therefore, the slope of AB is .

(2)

Length of AB is

Therefore, the length of AB is 10 units.

(3) Midpoint of AB is

Therefore, the midpoint of AB is (5,7).

(4)

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of line perpendicular to AB be m₁.

So, slope of line perpendicular to AB is .

answer: 230 miles ( vote ! )

step-by-step explanation:

180.39 minus 17.99 equals 162.4

then divide 162.4 by .80 to get 230

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
