Answer:

The other midpoint is located at coordinates (-9,-2) (Second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Midpoints</u>

If P(a,b) and Q(c,d) are points in \mathbb{R} ^2, the midpoint between them is the point exactly in the center of the line that joins P and Q. Its coordinates are given by

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{a+c}{2}

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{b+d}{2}

We are given one endpoint at P(1,-2) and the midpoint at M(-4,-2). The other endpoint must be at an equal distance from the midpoint as it is from P. We can see both given points have the same value of y=-2. This simplifies the calculations because we only need to deal with the x-coordinate.

The x-distance from P to M is 1-(-4)=5 units. This means the other endpoint must be 5 units to the left of M:

x (other endpoint)= - 4 - 5 = - 9

So the other midpoint is located at (-9,-2) (Second option)

A westbound train travels 16 miles per hour slower than the eastbound train. If two trains are 800 miles apart after 5 hours wha
lozanna [386]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate can be calculated as follows

x + x -16

2x-16

(2x-16)×5

10x - 80= 800

10x = 300-80

10x, = 220

x = 220/10

= 22

22-16

= 6 mph

Hence the rate of the west bound tsin is 6mph

The perimeter of a square is 96m.Find its area.
nadya68 [22]
<h3>Solution</h3>

P = 4a

96 = 4a

a = 24 m

so, the area is

A = a²

A = 24²

A = 24 × 24

A = 576 m²
