Answer:

(-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2

(-5+3)/2 = -2/2 = -1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2

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

Answer:

(-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a line can be found using the following formula:

(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Basically, to find the midpoint, add the x-coordinates and divide by 2, then add the y coordinates and divide by 2.

X-coordinate

Add the x-coordinates of A and B, then divide by 2.

The x-coordinates are the numbers that comes first in the points.

A: (-5,3)

B: (3, -1)

The x coordinates are -5 and 3.

Add the x-coordinates.

-5+3=-2

Divide by 2

-2/2=-1

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is -1.

Y-coordinate

Add the y-coordinates of A and B, then divide by 2.

The y-coordinates are the second numbers in the points.

A: (-5,3)

B: (3,-1)

The y-coordinates are 3 and -1.

Add the y-coordinates.

3+-1=2

Divide by 2.

2/2=1

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is 1.

If the x-coordinate is -1 and the y-coordinate is 1, the midpoint is <u>(-1,1)</u>

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y=16 when x= 8, find x when y=10
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

By question,

=> y = kx

When y = 16 , x = 8

=> 16 = x(8)

=> x = 2

When y = 10 ,

=> 10 = 2x

=> x = 5
