3/4(x+5 1/2) = 5/8 Distributive Property Brainly

Answer:

x = - $\frac{14}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ (x + 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = $\frac{5}{8}$

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x + 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{-28}{6}$ = - $\frac{14}{3}$

Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at the given coordinates (-6,6) and (-3,-9)

JulsSmile [24]

The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at the given coordinates (-6,6) and (-3,-9) is $\left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}\right)$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, two points are (-6, 6) and (-3, -9)

We have to find the midpoint of the segment formed by the given points.

The midpoint of a segment formed by $\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(\mathrm{x}_{2}, \mathrm{y}_{2}\right)$ is given by:

$\text { Mid point } \mathrm{m}=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)$

$\text { Here in our problem, } x_{1}=-6, y_{1}=6, x_{2}=-3 \text { and } y_{2}=-9$

Plugging in the values in formula, we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{m=\left(\frac{-6+(-3)}{2}, \frac{6+(-9)}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-6-3}{2}, \frac{6-9}{2}\right)} \\\\ {=\left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}\right)}\end{array}$

Hence, the midpoint of the segment is $\left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}\right)$

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (3,7) and (-6, 4). Write the equation in slope-intercept form, using

NikAS [45]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3} x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(3,7)(-6,4)$

Step 1. Find the slope (by using the slope-formula)

m = slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{4-7}{-6-3}$

$m=\frac{-3}{-9}$

$m=\frac{3}{9}$

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

Step 2. Write the equation (using the slope and the points)

Here's how to do it:

Slope-intercept Formula $y=mx+b$ whrere m = slope and b = y-intercept

Plug in the slope into the Slope-intercept Formula

$y=\frac{1}{3} x+b$

Find the y-intercept (b) by using a point and substituting their x and y values

$y=\frac{1}{3} x+b$

Point: (3, 7)

$7=\frac{1}{3} (3)+b$

$7=1+b$

$b=7-1$

$b=6$

Step 3. Write the equation in Slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

$y=\frac{1}{3} x+6$
