If the line segment point is D(-5, 10) and E(a,b) and the  midpoint of the segment is F(13, -2) that mean 
DE= 2*DF

You can directly find the distance of AC 
Xdf= Xf-Xd= 13 - (-5)= 18
Ydf= Yf - Yd= -2 - 10= -12

Then add the distance of AB( which is 2*AC) to point D
Xe= a = Xd + 2*Xdf 
a= -5 +2*18= 31

Ye= b = Yd + 2Yf
b= 10+ 2*-12= -14

<span>absolute difference between a and b:
|b-a|= </span>|-14-31|= 45

Mr. Quick bought a new computer system. The regular price was $1580, but he got 40% off. What is the discount
denpristay [2]

Answer: The discounted price is $948. The value of the discount itself is $632.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>To calculate discounts, you multiply the percentage of the discount as a decimal with the price of the product.

In this particular case:

0.40 [percentage of discount] x $1580 [original cost] = $632 (the amount of the discount) </h3><h3>$1580 - $632 = $698 [new price after discount is applied]</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the factor that is being manipulated in an experiment and this time it is the time spent in a darkened room.

The dependent variable is the response variable, in this case, the number of objects correctly identified.

The experimental conditions involved bringing people from a lighted area into a darkened room.

Yesterday, stanley's doughnut shop sold 2/3 as many chocolate doughnuts as cinnamon doughnuts. if they sold 7 1/4 trays of cinna
katovenus [111]
You figure out the amount of chocolate doughnuts sold by multiplying 2/3 by 7 1/4

first you change 7 1/4 to an improper fraction:
7 1/4= 29/4
now multiply 2/3×29/4 by multiplying the two numerators then putting that over the two denominators multiplied: (2×29)/(3×4)=58/12
now simplify:58/12=4 10/12= 4 5/6

the answer is Stanley's doughnut shop sold
4 5/6 trays of chocolate doughnuts
