In one dimensions (i.e. with standard numbers and not points with more coordinates) the midpoint is the same as the average.
The average of two numbers is their sum divided by two.
So, we have -4+20=16. Divide this by two to get 8.

Answer:
The music director can form a total of 15 groups
6 Sixth grade students per group
5 Seventh grade students per group
Step-by-step explanation:
Sixth grade students = 90
Seventh grade students = 75
Find the highest common factor of 75 and 90
90 = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90.
75 = 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75
The highest common factor of 75 and 90 is 15
Therefore, the music director can form a total of 15 groups
Sixth grade students per group = 90 / 15
= 6 Sixth grade students per group
Seventh grade students per group = 75 / 15
= 5 Seventh grade students per group
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = k
where k is the constant of variation.
We can also express the relationship between x and y as:
y =
where k is the constant of variation.
Since k is constant, we can find k given any point by multiplying the x-coordinate by the y-coordinate. For example, if y varies inversely as x, and x = 5 when y = 2, then the constant of variation is k = xy = 5(2) = 10. Thus, the equation describing this inverse variation is xy = 10 or y = .
Example 1: If y varies inversely as x, and y = 6 when x = , write an equation describing this inverse variation.
k = (6) = 8
xy = 8 or y =
Example 2: If y varies inversely as x, and the constant of variation is k = , what is y when x = 10?
xy =
10y =
y = × = × =
k is constant. Thus, given any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) which satisfy the inverse variation, x1y1 = k and x2y2 = k. Consequently, x1y1 = x2y2 for any two points that satisfy the inverse variation.
Example 3: If y varies inversely as x, and y = 10 when x = 6, then what is y when x = 15?
x1y1 = x2y2
6(10) = 15y
60 = 15y
y = 4
Thus, when x = 6, y = 4.
2nd answer choice
constant of variation is xy. XY=23. If X=7 then Y=23/7.
