How do you find endpoints of a line segment with a given endpoint and midpoint?

Mathematics

seraphim [82]3 years ago

In order to find the second endpoint or a line segment given the first and the midpoint, you need to realize that the midpoint is an average of the two endpoints. Given that fact, we can derive this formula looking at x values of points A and B with midpoint M. Remember this is only looking at the x values.

(A + B)/2 = M

So if we are looking for A, we can solve for A and use this modified formula.

(A + B)/2 = M

A + B = 2M

A = 2M - B

Now we can do this with the y values of these points as well. We then have the coordinates of both parts of A.

· At Jefferson High School, 30% of students drive to school, 60% of students ride the bus to
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Difference = 250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be x.

Given the following data;

% driving = 30%

% riding = 60%

% walking = 10%

Number of students driving = 375

First of all, we would determine the total number of students.

Total = 30/100 * x = 375

0.3x = 375

Total, x = 375/0.3

Total, x = 1250 students.

Next, we determine the number of students walking;

Walking = 10/100 * 1250

Walking = 12500/100

Walking = 125 students

Finally, we would determine many more students drive to school than walk to school;

Difference = 375 - 125

Difference = 250 students
