Answer:

y = x + 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + c, where m is the slope and y is the intercept

The midpoint or bisector (x, y) of a line with endpoints at (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by:

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\\ \\y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

If AB is at A(-1,8) B(3,4), the coordinates of the midpoint of AB is:

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{-1+3}{2}=1 \\ \\y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{8+4}{2} =6

The midpoint of AB is (1, 6)

If CD  is at C(1,10) and D(7,8), the coordinates of the midpoint of CD is:

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{1+7}{2}=4 \\ \\y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{10+8}{2} = 9

The midpoint of CD is (4, 9)

The equation of the line passing through two points is given as:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\ \\The \ equation \ of\ the\ line \ passing\ through \ the\ midpoint\ of\ AB, i.e (1,6)\ \\and\ the\ mdpoint\ of\ CD\ i.e(4,9)\ is:\\\\y-6=\frac{9-6}{4-1}(x-1)\\ \\y-6=1(x-1)\\\\y=x-1+6\\\\y=x+5

Which one of the following most accurately describes the volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Option C.

Volcanoes are associated with subduction and a convergent plate boundary

Explanation:

Subduction zone in volcanism occurs in a situation where two tectonic plates are converging on one another. One plate which contains oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate. This makes the oceanic lithosphere to be consumed into the crust.

Most Volcanoes in Hawaii are formed through subduction. This is shown by the presence of subduction zones in the region.

Thus option C is correct
