Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint of EF is equal to

$(\frac{xE+xF}{2},\frac{yE+yF}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

In this problem we have

$(x1,y1)=(xE,yE)$

$(x2,y2)=(xF,yF)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$M=(\frac{xE+xF}{2},\frac{yE+yF}{2})$

I guess you are looking for a general way of writing a midpoint in coordinate system.
we have the following:
E(xe, ye) and F(xf,yf)
then mind point is as follows
((xe+xf)/2, (ye+yf)/2)

Write the equation of the line with an x-intercept at (0,2) and perpendicular to 3x+4y=12.

juin [17]

First you normalize 3x+4y=12 into y = -3/4 x + 3 (dividing by 4).

Then you observe that the slope of the line is -3/4 (it's always the factor with the x). A perpendicular line has the reciprocal slope. Reciprocal means inverted and negated. So -3/4 becomes +4/3.

The equation will thus look like y = 4/3 x + b. To find b, we fill in the given x intercept (0,2), (we get 2 = 4/3 * 0 + b). With x=0, b must be 2.

So the equation is: y = 4/3 x + 2
