We can write a proportion between short and long legs:

$10.5\div k = 16.5\div 5.5$

Solving for k yields

$k = \dfrac{10.5\cdot 5.5}{16.5}=3.5$

Find the midpoint of AB for: A(7,0)|and B(0,3)

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf (\frac {7}{2}, \frac{3}{2}) \ or \ (3,5, 1.5) }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is essentially a point with the average of the 2 x-coordinates and the 2 y-coordinates.

The formula is:

$(\frac {x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

We are given two points: A (7,0) and B (0, 3). Remember points are written as (x, y).

Therefore,

$x_1= 7 \\y_1=0 \\x_2=0 \\x_2=3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$(\frac {7+0}{2}, \frac{0+3}{2})$

Solve the numerators first.

$(\frac {7}{2}, \frac{3}{2})$

The midpoint can be left like this because the fractions are reduced, but it can be written as decimals too.

$(3.5, 1.5)$

Simora [160]

To make a box and whisker plot, you need to draw a number line that would be able to represent all the values in the data (look at your lowest and highest numbers).

You will need to graph the following 5 points on your number line (median, lower quartile, lower extreme, upper quartile, and upper extreme).

Create a box around the quartiles and extend the lines to the extremes.
See the picture I have attached for the box and whisker box for this data set.
