If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
19-3 will be greater
We are multiplying 1/2 *(19-3) which is multiplying by a number less than 1 it will be less than 1
18-3 = 16
1/2 * (19-3)
Using PEMDAS
We do parentheses first
1/2 ( 16)
Then multiply
8
When looking for the midpoint of a segment defined by two end points, the average of both coordinates are taken. Averaging the 2 x-coordinates give the new x-coordinate, and the same applies for the y-coordinate. This is shown below:
Midpoint = ( (1 + 4)/2 , (-1 + -6)/2 )
Midpoint = (2.5 , -3.5)
I want to say the first one, but i do not know for sure.
