Answer:

The range of people who voted for other person = 7266 to 7872

Step-by-step explanation:

A phone survey has a margin error of +/– 4%. The range of number of people who will vote for the other candidate if 87 of 114 people said they would vote for the other person.

We get the percentage from this ,

Percentage = $\frac{87}{114} \times 100$ = 76.3 %

Border percentages = 72.3 and 80.3% (Since error = 4%)

We have already taken vote of 114 people so remaining = 9804

Lower end = 0.723 $\times$ 9804 = 7266

Upper end = 0.803 $\times$ 9804 = 7872

Hence the range = 7266 to 7872

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let $D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

$C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})$

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

Solve for each:

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$

$2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2$

$4 = x_1 + 5$

$4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5$

$-1 = x_1$

$x_1 = -1$

$4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

$4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2$

$8 = y_1 + 7$

$8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7$

$1 = y_1$

$y_1 = 1$

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let $A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)$

$B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})$

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$ and $-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

Solve for each:

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$

$-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2$

$-8 = x_1 - 2$

$-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2$

$-6 = x_1$

$x_1 = -6$

$-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

$-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2$

$-10 = y_1 - 9$

$-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9$

$-1 = y_1$

$y_1 = -1$

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

What is the slope between the points (5,-4) and (-3,4) <br> -1<br> 4<br> 0<br> 1

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply gradient formula :

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

So you will have to substitute the coordinates into the equation. Let (x1,y1) be (-3,4) and (x2,y2) be (5,-4) :

$m = \frac{ - 4 - 4}{5 - ( - 3)}$

$m = \frac{ - 8}{8}$

$m = - 1$
