8.235 X 10 -4exponent. The exponent is negative because you moved the decimal to the right instead of left :) hope this helps!
Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points

and

is

So the midpoint of your segment is

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
Answer:
d c a
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract px2 from both sides.
Now you have:
x3 - px2 = (1 - p) x1
Next, divide both sides by (1 - p)
So now you have
x3 - px2/(1 - p) = x1
...as your final answer
*You can decide if you want to leave the parenthesis in your final answer, I left them there so it could be visible where I put them. :)
