Find the distance and the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-1,4) and (-5,3)

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1,4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 3)

d = \sqrt{(-5+1)^2+(3-4)^2}

  = \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-1)^2}

  = \sqrt{16+1} = \sqrt{17} ≈4.12 ( to 2 dec. places )

To find the midpoint use the midpoint formula

[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Using the same points as above then

midpoint = [0.5(- 1- 5), 0.5(4 + 3 ) ] = [0.5(- 6), 0.5(7) ] = (- 3, 3.5 )

storchak [24]

Answer:

x: (-5.0)

y: (0, -17.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept of the line is when y=0. In the table is the point (-5,0). This is the x-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, find when x=0. Write an equation for the table in y=mx + b. Find the slope between two points first.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{7-0}{-7--5} =\frac{7}{-7+5}=-\frac{7}{2} = -3.5

The slope is -3.5. So the equation is

y - 7 = -3.5(x--7)

y - 7 = -3.5 (x+7)

y - 7 = -3.5x - 24.5

y = 3.5x - 17.5

Since it is in y=mx+b, b= -17.5 and this is the y-intercept.
