Answer:

Lets say that you're bisecting segment AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Place the compass on point A, and open it wider than half the distance of the segment.

2. Swing an arc above and below the segment.

3. Keeping the compass the same width, place the compass on point B, and swing an arc above and below the segment.

4. Place points C and D on the intersection of the arcs created above and below segment AB.

5. Draw a line from point C to point D.

You find the midpoint, which is just the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:

mp=((x2+x1)/2, (y2+y1)/2)

Peter owns a candy store. His starting balance last month was $15,300.

ValentinkaMS [17]

The Time interval is one month, hence the burn rate is the difference between the starting and the ending balance is $2,800

<h3>Monthly Burn Rate Computation</h3>

Given Data

Starting Balance = $15,300

Ending Balance = $12,500

Time Interval = 1 months

Difference between Starting and Ending Balance

= 15,300- 12,500

= 2,800

We have found the difference between the Starting Balance and the ending Balance as $2,800

Answer:

(3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are asked to find the reflection of Point P(-1,5) along the line represented by x=1

Please refer to the image attached with answer.

We have point P (-1,5) , the line x=1 and the Point R which is the reflection of P across x=1

now we can see that P is 2 units towards left of the line x=1. hence its reflection across x=1 will be 2 units away towards right of line. 2 units away , the x coordinate will be 1+2 = 3

Hence the x coordinate is 3 and y coordinate remains the same. Hence the coordinates of R will be (3,5)

-3a-3=2n+3p solve for a

Rasek [7]

Solve for a by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

a = -1 -2n/3 -p

Is the product of -5 +x and x+4 equal to the product of 5+x and x-4? Explain your answer.

beks73 [17]

Let's find out!

-5 + x * x + 4.

-5 + x^2 + 4.

-5 + 4 + x^2.

-1 + x^2.

5 + x * x - 4.

5 + x^2 - 4.

5 - 4 + x^2.

1 + x^2

So, they are NOT the same, because one of the "1"'s are negative, and the other is positive.

Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 32 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. In other word

Paladinen [302]

Solution :

Let us consider the squares be $[1, 16] \times [16, 32]$

If x ranges from the 0 to 16 and the y ranges from 16 to 32, we see that the boundary of the region $y-x \geq 9 \text{\ is}\ y - x = 9$ which goes from the $(7, 16 ) \text{ to}\ (16, 25)$ .

And so it is easier to find the area of region where $y-x \leq 9$ . This is the triangle with points $(7,16),(16,25) \text{ and}\ (16,16)$ as its vertices.
