Example :
u have an endpoint at (6,5)......ad the midpoint is (4,2)....find the other endpoint.
midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2
one endpoint (6,5)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 5
other endpoint (x,y)...x2 = x and y2 = y
sub into the formula
m = (6 + x) / 2, (5 + y) / 2
okay, so the midpoint is (4,2)....so ur x value will equal 4
(6 + x) / 2 = 4...multiply both sides by 2
6 + x = 4 * 2
6 + x = 8
x = 8 - 6
x = 2 <==
midpoint is (4,2)....so the y value will equal 2
(5 + y) / 2 = 2 ...multiply both sides by 2
5 + y = 2 * 2
5 + y = 4
y = 4 - 5
y = -1 <==
so ur other endpoints are (2,-1)
Answer:
x=2.5 cups are needed for 2 pies
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 or 0.8
Fraction form: 4/5x = 2 x= 5/4
Decimial form: 0.8x = 2 x = 2.5
Mixed number form: 2 1/2
Hope that helped :)
To get -2 from 2, you would multiple by -1.
To get 2 from -2, you also would multiple by -1.
Ad infinitum.
So the common ratio is -1.
Hope this helps.
