Answer:

So M is the midpoint of RS lmbo

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have here are lengths of two equal segments, expressed as different algebraic expressions.

you just set those two expressions equal, and solve for x.  Then plug that x into EITHER of the two expressions, to get the equal lengths of RM & MS.

What is a correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m=1/2
frez [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

We ahve the slope m = 1/2 and the point (-2, 1). Substitute:

y-1=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-2))

y-1=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2) - point-slope form

Covert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

y-1=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2)          <em>use the distributive property</em>

y-1=\dfrac{1}{2}x+1          <em>add 1 to both sides</em>

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2   - slope-intercept form

Convert to the standard form (Ax + By = C):

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2     <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

2y=x+4        <em>subtract x from both sides</em>

-x+2y=4         <em>change the signs</em>

x-2y=-4   -  standard form

Convert to the general form (Ax+By+C=0):

x-2y=-4        <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

x-2y+4=0   - general form

candace help out at the library after school. The head librarian tells her that there are 2,160 books in the children's section
Slav-nsk [51]
That would be 40 books on each shelf. Hope that helped :)
Here is the process: 
2,160/ 9 stands = 240 books per stand
240 stands/ 6 shelves each = 40 books on each shelf.
