If "a" and "b" are two values of x-coordinate, and "m" is the midpoint between them, it means the distance from one end to the midpoint is the same as the distance from the midpoint to the other end
... a-m = m-b
When we add m+b to this equation, we get
... a+b = 2m
Solving for m gives
... m = (a+b)/2
This applies to y-coordinates as well. So ...
... The midpoint between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
_____
Jennifer had (x1, y1) = (-4, 10) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 6). So her calculation would be
... midpoint = ((-4-2)/2, (10+6)/2) = (-6/2, 16/2) = (-3, 8)
Brandon had (x1, y1) = (9, -4) and (x2, y2) = (-12, 8). So his calculation would be
... midpoint = ((9-12)/2, (-4+8)/2) = (-3/2, 4/2) = (-1.5, 2)
You take the whole number and put it in a fraction over 1 then divide by flipping the second fraction and multiplying
If you have a ruler I can how you a faster why you do this
Answer: -129
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given the sequence {-3, 6, -12, 24, ... }, we can see that the first term (a) is -3 and the ratio (r) is
.
Input those values into the Sum formula:

Step-by-step explanation:
Total no. of students tried out for the cheerleading squad = 24
Only 5/6 of the students will be chosen, therefore, no.s of students will be chosen for the squad =
