Answer:

(2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

If the endpoints of the line segment are (-2,5) and (6,-9), then the midpoint has the coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{-2+6}{2},\dfrac{5+(-9)}{2}\right)\\ \\\left(\dfrac{4}{2},\dfrac{-4}{2}\right)\\ \\(2,-2)$

The equation of the tangent to the curve x^2 = 4y at the point on the curve where x=-2 is?

aleksandrvk [35]

$x^2 = 4y \Rightarrow y= \frac{x^2}{4}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x}{4} = \frac{x}{2}$

(x = -2) $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x}{2} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1$
(x = -2) $y= \frac{x^2}{4}= \frac{(-2)^2}{4} = 1$

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$
$y-1 = -1(x--2)
$
$y-1 = -1(x+2)$
$y-1 = -x-2$
$y=-x-1 = -(x+1)$
