Here's the midpoint formula:

M[(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2]

sub your points into this formula and you get:

M[(2+6)/2 , (4+8)/2]
=[8/2 , 12/2]
=[4 , 6]

therefore, the midpoint M of A(2,4) and B(6,8) is M(4,6)

let me know if you have any other questions regarding how the formula works or what I did

hope it helps :)

The line that contains the point Q( 1, -2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is

Triss [41]

Let's call this line y=mx+C, whereby 'm' will be its gradient and 'C' will be its constant.

If this line is parallel to the line you've just mentioned, it will have a gradient 2/3. We know this, because when we re-arrange the equation you've given us, we get...

$y-4=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \left( x-3 \right) \\ \\ y-4=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x-2\\ \\ y=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x-2+4\\ \\ y=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x+2$

So, at the moment, our parallel line looks like this...

y=(2/3)*x + C

However, you mentioned that this line passes through the point Q(1, -2). If this is the case, for the line (almost complete) above, when x=1, y=-2. With this information, we can figure out the constant of the line we want to find.

-2=(2/3)*(1) + C

Therefore:

C = - 2 - (2/3)

C = - 6/3 - 2/3

C = - 8/3

This means that the line you are looking for is:

y=(2/3)*x - (8/3)

Let's find out if this is truly the case with a handy graphing app... Well, it turns out that I'm correct.

What is y ? Please help

jonny [76]

The first thing you should do is make the equation 4x+1=13 to find x. You then remove 1 from each side to get 4x=12, and then you divide by 4 to get x=3.

The next thing you do is make the equation -2y+8(3)=y+2(3)
Which simplified is -2y+24=y+6. You then add 2y to each side and remove 6 from each side to get the 18=3y. You then divide by 3 to get y=6.

Answer: 214.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First move the decimal to the right, in this case 8.95 = 895., then multiply the 24 by 895. to get 21480., you then move the decimal to the left and you get 214.80 or 214.8.

Which set of sides will make a triangle? -Middle School math-

trasher [3.6K]

Hey there!

The biggest side in the set of 3 lengths needs to be lower than the sum of the two lower numbers. So 3 is not lower than 1+1. 10 is not less than 3+4. 5 is the same as 3+2. This is not possible because this makes a line. So the biggest side can’t equal the sum of the two lower sides. 10 is less than 5+9. So the answer would be the last one. 10 cm, 5 cm, 9 cm.

I hope this helps!
