Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.
A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'
B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)
C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)
D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n
_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.
The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.
Answer:
Reason:
1) assumptions given
2) RUTS is a rectangle
3) RUTS is a rectangle
4) because:
+) ∠STU and ∠SRU are the right angles
+) RU = ST; UT = RS
=> ΔURS ≅ ΔSTU (SAS)
5) because ΔURS ≅ ΔSTU (SAS) => ∠USR = ∠SUT
Step-by-step explanation:
-- Measure the length of the box.
-- Measure the width of the box.
-- Measure the height of the box.
-- Make sure all 3 measurements are in the same units.
-- Multiply (length) x (width).
-- Take that answer and multiply it by (height).
-- You now have the volume of the box.
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(0)=(-2/3)(0) - 4
= - 4
Answer:the answer is A) g(x) is shifted down 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the last number after the parentheses represents the vertical shift, taking away the +2, leaves you with 0 meaning that there is no vertical shift, so the function lies on the x-axis. The graph shifts down 2 units
