Answer:
(2.5, - 10 )
Step-by-step explanation:
given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
( , )
here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 16, - 12 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (21, - 8 ) , then
midpoint = ( , ) = ( , ) = (2.5, - 10 )
See attached picture for answer:
(3x + 14) (3x + 14) = 9x^2 + 24x + 16
96.2857143 would be the answer because you add all the numbers together then divided by 7
