Answer:

The coordinates of endpoint B are (15, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem gives you the midpoint coordinates of line segment AB, and the coordinates of endpoint A. Given this, you can find the "distance" between the two points and thus the "distance" between the midpoint and point B.

Start by subtracting the the coordinates of point A from the coordinates of the midpoint.

X: 9-3=6

Y: 7-9=-2

X travels along the horizontal axis, while Y travels along the vertical axis. This means that a positive X goes right, a negative X goes left, a positive Y goes up, and a negative Y goes down.

Because you have a positive 6 for X, the line traveled 6 units right from point A to the midpoint. And because you have a negative 2 for Y, the line traveled 2 units down from point A to the midpoint.

Now, going from the midpoint to your unknown point B is simply shifting the discovered number of units right and down, or adding and subtracting from your midpoint accordingly.

M(9, 7)

B(9+6, 7-2)

B(15, 5)

X – 6y - 9 = 0 x = 8y + 6 What is a resulting equation?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

-2y + 3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 6y - 9 = 0

-6y - 9 = -x                          subtract x from both sides

6y + 9 = x                            divide both sides by -1

x = 8y + 6

6y + 9 = 8y + 6                    replace x with 6y + 9

-2y + 9 = 6                           subtract 8y from both sides

-2y + 3 = 0                            subtract 6 from both sides

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

91 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

As the teacher selects a brunette followed by a blonde, we just need to find the number of possibilities of choosing a brunnette and the number of possibilities of choosing a blonde:

number of possibilities of choosing a brunette: 13

number of possibilities of choosing a blonde: 7

Then, the number of possible outcomes is the product of these number of possibilities:

13 * 7 = 91 possible outcomes
