Answer:  The required co-ordinates of point T are (13, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:  given that S is the midpoint of the line segment RT, where the co-ordinates of point R are (-9, 4) and that of S are (2, -1).

We are to find the co-ordinates of point T.

We know that

the co-ordinates of the mid-point of a line segment with endpoints (a, b) and (c, d) are given by

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

Let (h, k) be the co-ordinates of point T. Then, according to the given information, we have

\left(\dfrac{-9+h}{2},\dfrac{4+k}{2}\right)=(2,-1)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-9+h}{2}=2\\\\\Rightarrow -9+h=4\\\\\Rightarrow h=4+9\\\\\Rightarrow h=13

and

\dfrac{4+k}{2}=-1\\\\\Rightarrow 4+k=-2\\\\\Rightarrow k=-2-4\\\\\Rightarrow k=-6.

Thus, the required co-ordinates of point T are (13, -6).

The coordinates of point T are (13, -6).

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

<u>Given: </u>

  • The midpoint of RT is S(2, -1).
  • The coordinates of point R is (-9, 4).

<u>Problem:</u>

Find the missing endpoint of T.

<u>The Process:</u>

The midpoint is the coordinates of a point that is located right in the middle of a line segment or two endpoints.

The Midpoint Formula \boxed{\boxed{ \ M = \bigg( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \bigg) \ }}

So, abscissa and ordinate of the midpoint are the averages of both endpoints. i.e., (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).

  • In this case, the midpoint is given by M = S(2, -1).
  • Let R(x₁, y₁) = R(-9, 4) and we will determine T(x₂, y₂).

Let's calculate the missing endpoint of T.

\boxed{ \ (2, -1) = \bigg( \frac{-9 + x_2}{2}, \frac{4 + y_2}{2} \bigg) \ }

Therefore, we complete part-1 for abscissa of T and part-2 for ordinate of T.

<u>Part-1</u>

\boxed{ \ \frac{-9 + x_2}{2} = 2 \ }

Both sides are multiplied by 2.

\boxed{ \ -9 + x_2 = 4 \ }

Both sides are added by 9, and we get the abscissa of T.

\boxed{\boxed{ \ x_2 = 13 \ }}

<u>Part-2</u>

\boxed{ \ \frac{4 + y_2}{2} = -1 \ }

Both sides are multiplied by 2.

\boxed{ \ 4 + y_2 = -2 \ }

Both sides are subtracted by 4, and we get the ordinate of T.

\boxed{\boxed{ \ y_2 = -6\ }}

Thus, the coordinates of T is (13, -6).

Brianna's teacher asks her which of these three expressions are equivalent to each other.
Tema [17]

Answer:

<em>Briana's thinking is incorrect because the numbers are different when you substitute x with numbers other than 0.</em>

the two equations that are equivalent to each other are,

<u><em>5x+x−4 and 9x-3x-4</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression A: 9x−3x−4

​Expression B: 12x−4

​Expression C: 5x+x−4

First I will substitute x for each of the equations.

9x-3x-4

when x equals: , then y equals:

1                        =        9(1)-3(1)-4= 2

2                       =         9(2)-3(2)-4=8

3                       =      9(3)-3(3)-4= 14

Now for 12x-4

when x equals: , then y equals:

1                        =        12(1)-4=  8

2                    =         12(2)-4= 20

3                       =      12(3)-4=  32

And for the final equation:

5x+x−4

when x equals: , then y equals:

1                        =        5(1)+(1)−4= 2

2                       =         5(2)+(2)−4 = 8

3                       =      5(3)+(3)−4=14

Based on this you can now see that the two equations that are equal are:

<u><em>5x+x−4 and 9x-3x-4</em></u>

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90 degrees. If one angle measures 39 degrees more than 2 times the measur
Digiron [165]

Let 'x' and 'y' be two complementary angles.

The sum of two complementary angles is always 90 degrees.

So, x+y = 90^\circ  

y = 90^\circ - x   (equation 1)

It is given that, one angle measures 39 degrees more than 2 times the measure of its complement.

So, x = 39^\circ+(2 \times y)

x = 39^\circ+2y

Substituting the value of 'y' from equation 1 in the above equation, we get

x = 39^\circ+2(90^\circ-x)

x=39^\circ+180^\circ-2x

x + 2x = 219^\circ

3x = 219^\circ

So, x = 73^\circ

Since, y = 90^\circ-x

y = 90-73 = 17^\circ

Therefore, the measure of two angles are 73^\circ and  17^\circ.
