Answer:
- (9.5, 6.5) and (-4.5, -7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the extended points be A' and B' and add the point M as midpoint of AB
<u>Coordinates of M are:</u>
- ((6 - 1)/2, (3-4)/2) = (2.5, -0.5)
Now point A is midpoint of A'M and point B is midpoint of MB'
<u>Finding the coordinates using midpoint formula:</u>
- A' = ((2*6 - 2.5),(2*3 - (-0.5)) = (9.5, 6.5)
- B' = ((2*(-1) - 2.5), (2*(-4) - (-0.5)) = (-4.5, -7.5)
Answer:
x = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)
Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!
Set it equal to 0.
Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.
Solve for x!
