Answer:

The other endpoint of the​ segment is (-18,-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of the points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by the following formula:

                                          (x_m,y_m)=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}  )

where (x_m,y_m) = coordinates of the midpoint.

We know that the midpoint is (-15, 2) and an endpoint is (-12, 11). Substituting the information we have gives:

                                         (-15,2)=(\frac{x_1-12}{2}, \frac{y_1+11}{2}  )

To find x_1 we need to solve this equation:

-15=\frac{x_1-12}{2} \\\\\frac{x_1-12}{2}=-15\\\\\frac{2\left(x_1-12\right)}{2}=2\left(-15\right)\\\\x_1-12=-30\\\\x_1-12+12=-30+12\\\\x_1=-18

and to find y_1 we need to solve this equation:

2= \frac{y_1+11}{2}  \\\\\frac{y_1+11}{2}=2\\\\\frac{2\left(y_1+11\right)}{2}=2\cdot \:2\\\\y_1+11=4\\\\y_1=-7

The other endpoint of the​ segment is (x_1,y_1)=(-18,-7).

Translate the following word phrase into an algebraic expression: nine times five less than twice x.
bagirrra123 [75]

The given statement is "nine times five less than twice x".

So, twice of x can be written as 2x and nine times five is 9*5.

Now 9*5 less 2x means we need to take out 9*5 from 2x.

Hence, this statement will be converted into an algebraic expression as follows:

2x-9*5

ABCD is a parallelogram. Segment AC = 4x + 10. Find the value of x and y.
valkas [14]

Answer:

The values of x and y in the diagonals of the parallelogram are x=0 and y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ABCD is a parallelogram

And segment AC=4x+10

From the figure we have the diagonals AC=3x+y and BD=2x+y

By the property of parallelogram the diagonals are congruent

∴ we can equate the diagonals AC=BD

That is 3x+y=2x+y

3x+y-(2x+y)=2x+y-(2x+y)

3x+y-2x-y=2x+y-2x-y

x+0=0 ( by adding the like terms )

∴ x=0

Given that segment AC=4x+10

Substitute x=0  we have AC=4(0)+10

=0+10

=10

∴ AC=10

Now (3x+y)+(2x+y)=10

5x+2y=10

Substitute x=0, 5(0)+2y=10

2y=10

y=\frac{10}{2}

∴ y=5

∴ the values of x and y are x=0 and y=5
