<h3>Answer: (3, -1)</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is $(x_m, y_m) = \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

This basically says to add the corresponding coordinates and divide by 2.

The given points (2,5) and (4,-7) have x coordinates of 2 and 4. They add to 2+4 = 6, and then that result cuts in half to 6/2 = 3. The x coordinate of the midpoint is 3.

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = -1 since adding the y coordinates of the given points leads to 5+(-7) = -2 which cuts in half to -1.

So overall the midpoint is located at (3, -1)

A sector of a circle makes a 127° angle at its centre. If the arc of the sector has length 36 mm, find

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Approximately $68.5\; \rm mm$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the angle of this sector to radians:

$\begin{aligned}\theta &= 127^{\circ} \\ &= 127^{\circ} \times \frac{2\pi}{360^{\circ}} \\ &\approx 2.22\end{aligned}$ .

The formula $s = r\, \theta$ relates the arc length $s$ of a sector of angle $\theta$ (in radians) to the radius $r$ of this sector.

In this question, it is given that the arc length of this sector is $s = 36\; \rm mm$ . It was found that $\theta = 2.22$ radians. Rearrange the equation $s = r\, \theta$ to find the radius $r$ of this sector:

$\begin{aligned} r&= \frac{s}{\theta} \\ &\approx \frac{36\; \rm mm}{2.22} \\ &\approx 16.2\; \rm mm\end{aligned}$ .

The perimeter of this sector would be:

$\begin{aligned}& 2\, r + s \\ =\; & 2 \times 16.2\; {\rm mm} + 36\; {\rm mm} \\ =\; & 68.5\; \rm mm\end{aligned}$ .

The distribution of the amount of money spent by students for textbooks in a semester is approximately normal in shape with a me

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Option D) $275

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $235

Standard Deviation, σ = $20

We are given that the distribution of amount of money spent by students is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.975

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20})=0.975$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P( z < 1.960) = 0.975$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20} = 1.960\\x =274.2 \approx 275$

Approximately 97.5% of the students spent below $275 on textbook.

Answer:

y +1 = -3(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point is (3, -1), and the given slope is -3. The form suggests you want the point-slope form of the equation for the line:

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Using the given values, the equation is ...

y -(-1) = -3(x -3)

y +1 = -3(x -3)
