The formula for midpoint is

(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

Look at the image below to see the line segment of Estefani's (A), Jasmin's (M), and Preston's (B) houses. Keep in mind that the segment shown below is not accurate in regards to how the line segment formed by Estefani's, Jasmin's, and Preston's houses. It is simply there so you can picture the segment better.

In this case:

x_{1} =3\\x_{2} =unknown\\y_{1} =-2\\y_{2} =unknown

^^^Plug in these number into the formula given above...

(\frac{3+x}{2}, \frac{-2 + y}{2})

To find what x is (a coordinate of Preston's house) you must take the x-value part of the midpoint equation (\frac{3+x}{2}) and set it equal to the x-value of the midpoint (-5). Then you must solve for x:

\frac{3+x}{2} = -5

3 + x = -5 * 2

3 + x = -10

x = -10 - 3

x = -13

To find what y is (a coordinate of Preston's house) you must take the  y-value part of the midpoint equation(\frac{-2 + y}{2}) and set it equal to the y-value of the midpoint (3). Then you must solve for y:

\frac{-2 + y}{2} = 3

-2 + y = 3 * 2

-2 + y = 6

y = 6 + 2

y = 8

The coordinate of Preston's house is:

(-13, 8)

Hope this helped!

Ket [755]
In general, the dependent variable will be by itself on the left side of the equation.  Its value depends upon that of the independent variable embedded in some expression on the right side.

What is the surface area 1ft 1ft 1ft?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

6 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the object in question is a cube, then we could say the length is 1, the depth is 1 and the height is 1, in which case each side of the cube has an area of 1 ft^2.  

There are 6 such sides, so the total surface area is 6 ft^2.

Next time please be explicit in naming the shape, either verbally or with a diagram.
