Using the midpoint concept, it is found that the value of a is of a = 2.

<h3>What are the coordinates of the points?</h3>

Researching this problem on a search engine, the coordinates are given as follows:

  • F(b + 1, a + 2).
  • M(3,5).
  • (2a, 3b+3).

<h3>What is the midpoint concept?</h3>

The midpoint between two points is the halfway point between them, and is found using the mean of the coordinates.

Hence the following system of equations can be built:

(b + 1 + 2a)/2 = 3.

b + 1 + 2a = 6.

b = 5 - 2a.

(a + 2 + 3b + 3)/2 = 5

a + 3b + 5 = 10

a + 3b = 5.

Since b = 5 - 2a, we have that:

a + 15 - 6a = 5.

5a = 10

a = 10/5

a = 2.

The value of a is of a = 2.

How to convert 4.5 into a decimal
zepelin [54]

Answer:

do you mean a fraction? if so..

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number in decimal form, in which either decimals terminate or certain numbers after decimal point continue to repeat endlessly, can be written as a fraction. As the given number 4.5 terminates after first deciimal it can be written as fraction. Here we have 4.5=4510= 9/2

which as a fraction means 4 and because you have 1 left over from the 9 its 4 1/2 or 4.5 :)

what are the ex and Y coordinates of point E, which partition the directed line segment from A to B into a ratio of 1:2?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this is the one we use when we are given the ratio the directed line segment is separated into as opposed to the point being, say, one-third of the way from one point to another. The 2 equations we use to find the x and y coordinates of this separating point are:

x=\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b}  and  y=\frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b} where x1, x2, y1, y2 come from the coordinates of A and B, and a = 1 (from the ratio) and b = 2 (from the ratio). Filling in for x first:

x=\frac{2(2)+1(-4)}{1+2}=\frac{4-4}{3}=0 and then y:

y=\frac{2(-3)+1(9)}{1+2}=\frac{-6+9}{3}=\frac{3}{3}=1

The coordinates of point E, then, are (0, 1).
