Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points (-6, 3), and (-10, 7). The midpoint is calculated by averaging the x, and y values of two coordinates. As (-10, 7) is the the first point (x1, y1), and (-6, 3) is the second point (x2, y2).

$midpoint \: of \: (x_{1},y_{1}), \: and \: (x_{2},y_{2}) \\ = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

$midpoint \: of \: (-6,3), \: and \: (-10,7) = (\frac{-10 + -6}{2}, \frac{7 + 3}{2}) \: = (\frac{-16}{2}, \frac{10}{2}) \: = (-8,5)$

PIT_PIT [208]

The answer is 12 1/4. how I got my answer.

Their are 4 quarters to a whole, so that means all I have to do is multiply 4×3=12, then add 1/4+12= 12 1/4.

I hope this helps!

A radioactive substance decreases in the amount of grams by one-third each year. If the starting amount of the

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The sequence is geometric. The recursive formula is $a_{n}=2/3a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you have to calculate the amount of the substance left after the end of each year to obtain a sequence and then you have to determine if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

The substance decreases by one-third each year, therefore:

After 1 year:

$1452-\frac{1}{3}(1452)$

Using 1452 as a common factor and solving the fraction:

$1452(1-\frac{1}{3})=1452(\frac{2}{3})=968$

You can notice that in general, after each year the amount of grams is the initial amount of the year multiplied by 2/3

After 2 years:

$968(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{1936}{3}$

After 3 years:

$\frac{1936}{3}(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3872}{9}$

The sequence is:

1452,968,1936/3,3872/9....

In order to determine if the sequence is geometric, you have to calculate the ratio of two consecutive terms and see if the ratio is the same for all two consecutive terms. The ratio is obtained by dividing a term by the previous term.

The sequence is arithmetic if the difference of two consecutive terms is the same for all two consecutive terms.

-Calculating the ratio:

For the first and second terms:

968/1452=2/3

For the second and third terms:

1936/3 ÷ 968 = 2/3

In conclussion, the sequence is geometric because the ratio is common.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_{n}=ra_{n-1}$

where an is the nth term, r is the common ratio and an-1 is the previous term.

In this case, r=2/3

What is 246 : 7 in long division

Mars2501 [29]

Here we will show you step-by-step with detailed explanation how to calculate 246 divided by 7 using long division.

Before you continue, note that in the problem 246 divided by 7, the numbers are defined as follows:

246 = dividend

7 = divisor

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 7 on the left side and the dividend 246 on the right side like this:

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

Step 2:

The divisor (7) goes into the first digit of the dividend (2), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (7 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (2 - 0 = 2) and write the answer below.

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (4) like this:

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

Step 6:

The divisor (7) goes into the bottom number (24), 3 time(s). Therefore, put 3 on top:

0 3

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (7 x 3 = 21) and write that answer at the bottom:

0 3

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

2 1

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (24 - 21 = 3) and write the answer at the bottom.

0 3

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

- 2 1

Step 9:

Move down the last digit of the dividend (6) like this:

0 3

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

- 2 1

3 6

Step 10:

The divisor (7) goes into the bottom number (36), 5 time(s). Therefore put 5 on top:

0 3 5

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

- 2 1

3 6

Step 11:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (7 x 5 = 35) and write the answer at the bottom:

0 3 5

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

- 2 1

3 6

3 5

Step 12:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (36 - 35 = 1) and write the answer at the bottom.

0 3 5

7 ⟌ 2 4 6

- 0

2 4

- 2 1

3 6

- 3 5

You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.

The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.

Therefore, the answer to 246 divided by 7 calculated using Long Division is:

1 Remainder

I need help with this problem.<br><br>

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: y = -1/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (-1/4)x + 2 (This is the first linear function.)

(4,3) has slope of (-1/4)x or (1/-4)x

4(y2) - 4(y1= the new y -1(x2) -3(x1) = new x which leads to (0,-4) so y-intercept = -4

so all in all, y = (-1/4)x -4 is the answer

Hopefully, you're able to understand this. It's difficult to explain through typed words rather than visually and through a written example.
