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)
What does it say In the speaker
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
m<MNQ = 132°
m<Q = 54°
m<P = 3x
1. m<MNQ = m<P + m<Q
Reason: exterior angle theorem of a triangle
Plug in the values
2. 132° = 3x + 54°
Reason: Substitution
3. x = 26
Reason: Algebra
132 - 54 = 3x (substraction property of equality)
78 = 3x
78/3 = x (division property of equality)
26 = x
x = 26
No.
