the first answer is 59.2 and the second answer is 1.5
Answer:
-a^2 - a + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
You only need to find the products of the first and last terms to determine the correct answer:
(-a)(a) = -a^2
(3)(4) = 12
You're looking for an expression with -1 as the leading coefficient and +12 as the constant. There is only one choice like that:
-a^2 - a + 12
The given coordinates are:
p1: (12,4) and p2: (-8,8)
Th x coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Xmidpoint = (x1+x2) / 2 = (12+-8) / 2 = 4/2 = 2
The y coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Ymidpoint = (y1+y2) / 2 = (4+8) / 2 = 12/2 = 6
Based on the above calculations, the midpoint of the segment with the given coordinates is (2,6)
The last 2 options are correct
