Slope formular = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)
so
slope = (-6 +5)/(-4-3)
slope = -1/-7
slope = 1/7

answer
Laila is correct

Given M is the midpoint ABA. The coordinate of A are (-4,2) and the cordinates of M are (1,1). Find the coordinate of B. Choose

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The coordinate of B is (6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

coordinate of A = (-4,2) = (x₁, y₁)

coordinate of M = (1,1)

let coordinate of B = (x₂, y₂)

Mid-point is given by;

$M = \frac{X_1 + X_2}{2} , \frac{Y_1 + Y_2}{2}\\\\M= (1,1)\\\\1,1 =\frac{X_1 + X_2}{2} , \frac{Y_1 + Y_2}{2}\\\\ \frac{X_1 + X_2}{2} = 1 ----equation (1)\\\\\frac{Y_1 + Y_2}{2} = 1 -----equation(2)\\\\Solving \ equation(1)\\\\\frac{-4+ X_2}{2} = 1\\\\-4+ X_2 = 2\\\\X_2 = 2+4\\\\X_2 = 6\\\\Solving \ equation(2)\\\\\frac{Y_1 + Y_2}{2} = 1\\\\\frac{2+ Y_2}{2} = 1\\\\2+Y_2 = 2\\\\Y_2 = 2-2\\\\Y_2 = 0\\\\B = (X_2, \ Y_2)\\\\B = (6, \ 0)$

Therefore, the coordinate of B is (6,0)

Anni [7]

So I would first find out when they are equal then do one more than that. 21x=18x+45, 3x=45, x=15 so the answer would be 16 jerseys

You will save $522 by paying cash. 165*24=3960 3960-3438=522
