On ITV's Homework Hotline, it's time for "Rudolf's Rules." If you guess what rule Rudolf is using you get a prize. Someone puts

golf balls into a miniature-golf display called Rudolf, then Rudolf sends back a certain number of golf balls. Today Rudolf gets 8 balls and sends back 6. Next Rudolf gets 15 and sends back 27. When he gets 25, 57 are returned. If n represents the number of balls initially given to Rudolf, write an expression to represent how many balls he sent back.

Answer:

y = 3x -18 ( where y =  balls sent back by Rudolf; x= balls  given to Rudolf)

Step-by-step explanation:

x (Balls given)       y( Balls sent back)

8                             6                    Δy/Δx  = (27-6)/(15-8) =  3

15                            27

25                           57                 Δy/Δx  = (57-27)/(25-15) =  3

Observing the number sequence shows constant gradient and as such we can use equation of a straight line to relate the two variables.

Using the equation of a straight line we have:

(y-y1)/(x-x1) =  (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

y-6/x-8  =       (27-6)/(15-8)

y-6/x-8  =    3

y-6        =  3(x-8)

y-6  = 3x - 24

y = 3x-18

What is the midpoint of line segment AB?
Elza [17]

Answer

Midpoint = (3, 5.5)

Step by step explanation

Here we have to use the midpoint formula.

Midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} \\)

Here the point A = (-1, 8) and B = (7, 3)

x1 = -1, y1 = 8, x2 = 7 and y2 = 3

Now plug in these values into the formula.

Midpoint = (\frac{-1 + 7}{2} , \frac{8 + 3}{2}

= (6/2, 11/2)

= (3, 5.5)

Therefore, the midpoint the line segment AB is (3, 5.5)

Thank you.
