The original expression evaluates to 54.4 as shown in the first working.
_____
For some reason, 3.4 got transcribed to be 1.7 in the 3rd line of the second working. There is no math operation in the expression that requires 3.4 to be divided by 2.
Answer:
The coordinates of b are: (x, y) = (3, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Given that the midpoint of the ab is:
The coordinates of a are:
To determine
The coordinates of b = ?
Let b (x, y) be the coordinates of b.
Given that the midpoint of the ab is m(-2, -1)
Thus,
(x - 7) / 2 = -2, (y + 2) /2 = -1
now solving
(x - 7) / 2 = -2
(x - 7) = -2 × 2
x - 7 = -4
adding 7 in both sides
x - 7 + 7 = -4 + 7
x = 3
and solving
(y + 2) /2 = -1
(y + 2) = -1 × 2
y + 2 = -2
subtracting 2 from both sides
y + 2 - 2 = -2 - 2
y = -4
Thus,
The coordinates of b are: (x, y) = (3, -4)
107
simplify or expand: 535/5
— 107 !!!!!!!!!! so b
