The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)
First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint.
x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4
y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1
Therefore B must be (-4, 1)
Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages.
x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4
y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7
So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)
Answer:
y = 6 + 4x
After 4 years, the tree would be 22 ft tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x = the number of years that pass
Let y = the height of the tree (ft)
We're given that the 6-foot tree grows at a rate of 4 ft per year. This means that the height of the tree will be equal to 6 ft, the original height, plus another 4 ft every year that passes.
Height of tree = 6 feet + 4 feet × number of years that pass
y = 6 + 4x
To solve for how tall the tree would be 4 years after Dina plants it, replace x with 4, since 4 years have passed:
y = 6 + 4(4)
y = 6 + 16
y = 22
Therefore, the tree would be 22 ft tall.
I hope this helps!
Hello! For this question, you solve using order of operations, which you probably already have remembered as PEMDAS. Anytime a number is raised to the 0 power, that is equivalent to 1. 0.5^0 is 1. 250 * 1 is 250. x = 0 gives us the answer of 250. Now, let's solve for the number by the second power. 0.5² is 0.25. 250 * 0.25 is 62.5. x² gives us 62.5. Now, let's subtract the two numbers together. 250 - 62.5 is 187.5. Because the number is decreasing, the slope is negative, so the answer is -187.5. Your answer is correct.
