<h2>Answer:</h2>

The coordinates of D are:

                   (-3,-7)

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that if a point B(c,d) is located in middle of two points i.e. A(a,b) and C(a',b').

Then the coordinates of B is given by:

c=\dfrac{a+a'}{2}\ and\ d=\dfrac{b+b'}{2}

It is given that:

B is the midpoint of AC.

A(-9,-4), C(-1, 6).

Hence, the coordinates of B(x,y) is given by:

x=\dfrac{-9-1}{2}\ and\ y=\dfrac{-4+6}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-10}{2}\ and\ y=\dfrac{2}{2}\\\\x=-5\ and\ y=1

i.e. the coordinates of B are: (-5,1).

E is the midpoint of BD.

Let the coordinates of D be (w,z)

Also, E is located at E(-4,-3).

i.e.

-4=\dfrac{-5+w}{2}\ \ and\ \ -3=\dfrac{1+z}{2}\\\\-4\times 2=-5+w\ \ and\ \ -3\times 2=1+z\\\\-8=-5+w\ \ and\ \ -6=1+z\\\\w=-8+5\ \ and\ \ z=-6-1\\\\w=-3\ \ and\ \ z=-7

Hence, the coordinates of D are: (-3,-7)

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)

I need help with number 8
murzikaleks [220]
Since we know what he earns hourly, and his sales, we can figure out his full gross pay for the week.
As so:

We can set up an equation like this:
<em>h</em> = hours
<em>s</em> = sales
9.60h + 5%s

Now, we substitute.
9.60(35) + 5%(230)

Next, solve.
336.00 + 11.50
$347.50

$347.50 was Glen's gross pay for the week.

Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or I did not provide the answer you were looking for, let me know! However, if I did well, please consider marking as <em>Brainliest!
</em>Have a good one!

Answer:

B. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Final figure volume = big cuboid volume - small cuboid volume

Volume of a cuboid = height x width x length

Final figure = (6 x 6 x 15) - (4 x 4 x 15)

Final figure = 540 - 240

Final figure = 300mm^2

Which is the best prove why.5 gallon bucket of paint for $97.45 of a 1 gallon bucket of paint for 21.95.?
Greeley [361]
97.45 / 5 = 19.49 per gallon

and then there is 21.95 per gallon

the better deal would be the 5 gallon bucket for 97.45 because if u buy it this way, it is cheaper by the gallon
