For the coordinates of P and M (the midpoint) are given. Find the coordinates for Q.

1 answer:

8 0

Given an endpoint of a segment and a midpoint, the other endpoint can be obtained by manipulation of the midpoint formula. The said formula is shown below:

Let: (a,b) = coordinates of point 1 ; (c,d) = coordinates of point 2; (e,f) = coordinates of the midpoint

Midpoint = ( (a+c)/2 , (b + d)/2 )

From the formula: (a+c)/2 = e ; (b + d)/2 = f

Since we are already given an endpoint and the midpoint, we can solve for the other endpoint using the obtained equations. This is shown below:

(a+c)/2 = e
(3 + c)/2 = 0
c = -3

(b + d)/2 = f
(11 + d)/2 = 0
d = -11

Therefore, the coordinates of the other point is Q(-3,-11)

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

case 1) For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

case 2) For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

case 3) For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

case 4) For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

case 5) For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

case 6) For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6

If 6x+7°and 8x-17°are vertical angles, whats x

kolezko [41]

Since the two measures are vertical angles, you want to set them equal to each other :

6x+7=8x-17
-6x -6x
——————
7=2x-17
+17 +17
———————
24= 2x
X= 12
———

The answer is 12.

Please help no links

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

x=5 y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+y=9 ------eqn1

y=4-2x -------eqn2

using substitution

put y=4-2x into eqn1

3x+4-2x=9

x=5

put x=5 into eqn2

y=4-2(5)

y=4-10

y=-6

The regular price of an item is $84. The item is on sale witha discount of $12. What is the discount rate.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Discount = 14.3% (rounded up to one decimal place)

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price of an item is $84

Discount = $12

Percentage discount = (Discount ÷ regular price) × 100

Percentage discount = $\frac{12}{84}$ × 100 = 14.3% (rounded up to one decimal place)
