The known endpoint is P = (-16,0)

Let Q = (x,y) be the other endpoint. It is unknown for now.

Looking at the x coordinates of P and Q, we see that they are -16 and x respectively. Adding these values up gives -16+x. Dividing that result by 2 gives (-16+x)/2. This result is exactly equal to the midpoint x coordinate, which is the x coordinate of M (0). 

So we have this equation (-16+x)/2 = 0. Let's solve for x

(-16+x)/2 = 0
2*(-16+x)/2 = 2*0
-16+x = 0
x-16 = 0
x-16+16 = 0+16
x = 16

Therefore the x coordinate of point Q is 16.

------------------------------------

Let's do something similar for the y coordinates.

The y coordinates of P and Q are 0 and y respectively. Add them up and divided by 2, then set the result equal to -16 (y coordinate of midpoint M) getting this equation (0+y)/2 = -16

Solve for y

(0+y)/2 = -16
y/2 = -16
2*y/2 = 2*(-16)
y = -32

The y coordinate of point Q is -32

------------------------------------

The point Q goes from (x,y) to (16, -32)

Final Answer: (16, -32)

Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25, and the swordfish cost $.20 per p
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The combined cost of 1 pound of salmon and 1 pound of swordfish is $16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the cost of 1 pound salmon = $ m

So the cost of 1 pound of 1 pound swordfish cat = $ ( m - 0.20)

Now, the Amount of salmon purchased  = 2 1/2 pounds

2\frac{1}{2}  = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5

So, the amount of salmon purchased = 2.5 pounds

Cost of buying 2.5 pounds = 2.5 x ( 1 pound cost)

= 2.5 ( m) = $ 2.5 m  ...... (1)

Also, the Amount of swordfish purchased  = 1 1/4 pounds

1\frac{1}{4}  = 1 + \frac{1}{4} = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25

So, the amount of swordfish purchased = 1.25 pounds

Cost of buying 1.25 pounds = 1.25 x ( 1 pound cost of swordfish)

= 1.25 ( m - 0.20) = $ 1.25 m - 0.25       .... (2)

Now, the combined cost paid  = $ 31.25

⇒Cost of buying (2.5 pounds salmon  +  1.25 pounds swordfish) = $ 31.25

or, 2.5 m +   1.25 m - 0.25  = 31.35       (from (1) and (2))

or, 3.75 m = 31.60

or, m = 31.60/3.75 =  8.43

⇒ m = $8.43

So, the cost of 1 pound salmon = m = $8.43

and the cost of 1 pound swordfish = m - 0.20 = $8.43 - 0.20 = $ 8.23

Hence, the combined cost  1 pound of salmon and 1 pound of swordfish = $8.43 + $ 8.23 =  $ 16.66

The 2th term of The A.P is 7 and 9th term is 28, Find The comon difference and The first term.
Radda [10]

Answer:

difference = 3, first term = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

given, a2 = 7

a9 = 28

wkt, a2 = a + d = 7

<u>a9 = a + 8d</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>28</u>

- 7d = - 21

therefore d = 3

and wkt, d = a2 - a

a = 7 - 3 = 4
