By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

<h3>How to derive the equation of the axis of symmetry </h3>

In this question we know the locations of two points with the same y-value, which means that the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis and that both points are equidistant. Thus, the axis of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the line segment whose ends are those points.

First, calculate the coordinates of the midpoint by the midpoint formula:

M(x, y) = 0.5 · (- 7, 11) + 0.5 · (3, 11)

M(x, y) = (- 2, 11)

Second, look for the first coordinate of the midpoint and derive the equation of the line associated with the axis of symmetry:

x = - 2

By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width. The perimeter is 96 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle
blagie [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L

Width = W

L=8 more than 2W

L = 8 * 2W

L = 16W

Perimeter = 96

perimeter is the lengths of all sides added together

so

2L + 2W = 96

we have

L = 16W

2L + 2W = 96

let's do substitution

put what L = into 2L + 2W = 96

so

2(16W) + 2W = 96

can you rearrange that to get w

Is number 30 <br> -r=-23?
icang [17]
4(x - 3) - r + 2x = 5(3x - 7) - 9x
4x - 12 - r + 2x = 15x - 35 - 9x
6x - 12 - r = 6x - 35
6x - 6x - 12 + 35 = r
23 = r <==

with ur answer : -r = -23....u would multiply both sides by -1 to make r positive....resulting in : r = 23....so u basically got the same thing I did...just didn't quite finish
