Answer:  The required co-ordinates of the midpoint are (-3, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the endpoints of the line segment LM are L(-1,1) and M(-5,-3).

We are to find the co-ordinates of the midpoint of segment LM.

We know that,

the co-ordinates of the midpoint of a line segment with and points (a, b) and (c, d) are given by

\left(\dfrac{a+c}{2},\dfrac{b+d}{2}\right).

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the midpoint of segment LM are

\left(\dfrac{-1+(-5)}{2},\dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-1-5}{2},\dfrac{1-3}{2}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-6}{2},\dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\\\\\\=(-3,-1).

Thus, the required co-ordinates of the midpoint are (-3, -1).

Use the midpoint formula,
(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2)
(-1-5/2,1-3/2)
(-6/2,-2/2)
(-3,-1)

Determine the effects on the graph of the parent function ƒ(x) = x for the g(x) function.
love history [14]

Answer:

We can define a horizontal dilation/contraction of scale factor A, as:

g(x) = f(x*A)

if A > 1, this will be a contraction (it will be steeper)

if  0 < A < 1, this will be a dilation. (it will be less steep)

Then if we have:

g(x) = f(6*x) we have a contraction of scale factor 6, this means that the graph of the parent function will be contracted.

Below, you can see how the graphs change, where:

Blue is f(x)  =x

green is g(x) = f(6*x) = 6*x
