$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{\frac{5}{8}}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{\frac{27}{8}})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{y}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{x+\frac{5}{8}}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{y+\frac{27}{8}}{2} \right)=\stackrel{midpoint}{\left( -\frac{7}{6}~~,~~-\frac{10}{3} \right)}$

$\bf -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{x+\frac{5}{8}}{2}=-\cfrac{7}{6}\implies x+\cfrac{5}{8}=-\cfrac{14}{6}\implies x=-\cfrac{14}{6}-\cfrac{5}{8} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{-14(4)-5(3)}{24}\implies x=\cfrac{-56-15}{24}\implies \boxed{x=-\cfrac{71}{24}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{y+\frac{27}{8}}{2}=-\cfrac{10}{3}\implies y+\cfrac{27}{8}=-\cfrac{20}{3}\implies y=-\cfrac{20}{3}-\cfrac{27}{8} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-20(8)-27(3)}{24}\implies y=\cfrac{-160-81}{24}\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{241}{24}}$

SOMEONE PLS HELP

Kryger [21]

Answer:

9.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angle shown is 90 degrees we can deduce that the rest of the arc is 270 degrees therefore we can make the fraction:

270/360; 360 being the total angle measurement of a circle

270/360 simplifies to 3/4

The fraction represents how much of the circle that arc covers

Now we have to find the circumference which would be

2(3.14)r

r = 2 therefore: 2(3.14)2 = 12.56

Now that we have the circumference of the WHOLE circle we multiply it by 3/4 to find out the arc length

Which gives us 9.42

What is (4a²)³÷8a²? can you please answer in normal number form (not like 3²)

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

$8a^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! $(4a^2)^3=4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot a^2\cdot a^2\cdot a^2=64a^6$ because if you multiply numbers with exponents you add the exponents.

Now we've got $\frac{64a^6}{8a^2}=8a^4$ .

Sadly it has to be in exponential form. You can substitute $a$ into the equation if you know a.

A plot of land is represented on a map whose scale is 1:10000.On the map perimeter of the plot is 24.8cm.Calculate,in km ,the ac

sveta [45]

Answer:

24.8 km

Step-by-step explanation

To do this we would just multiply 24.8 by 10,000 which is 248000 and if we divide that by 10000 (to get km) we would get 24.8km

(a) Derive an equation of the line passing through the points A(0, 545) and B(4, 726). (Let t be the independent variable and y

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y=45.25t+545$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

$y=mt+n$ (1)

where:

$m$ is the slope of the line and $m$ is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, $y$ in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope ( $m$ ) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}$ (2)

where $t_1, t_2, y_1$ and $y_2$ are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

$t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\$

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

$m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25$

Hence, the line equation is now:

$y=45.25t+n$ (3)

Now to obtain the value of $n$ you can follow two options:

You can substitute one of your points, $A$ or $B$ , in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is $n$

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero $t=0$ . Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

$45.25*0+n=545\\n=545$

Therefore, the line equation is: $y=45.25t+545$

The second option to find $n$ is to think of the meaning of the <em>intercept</em>. The <em>intercept </em>of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that $n$ is equal to $545$ .

See the attachment for a plot of the line.
