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)

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.015625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There number of tires are 4.

The number of workers are 4.

The probability that individual select front drivers side tire = \frac{1}{4}

The probability that they all select front drivers side,tire is: \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{256}

Similarly,

The probability that they all select front passenger side, tire is: \frac{1}{256}

The probability that they all select rear driver side,tire is: \frac{1}{256}

The probability that they all select rear passenger side, tire is: \frac{1}{256}

Hence, the probability that all four workers select the same​ tire = \frac{1}{256}+ \frac{1}{256}+\frac{1}{256}+\frac{1}{256}

the probability that all four workers select the same​ tire = \frac{4}{256}=\frac{1}{64}=0.015625

Hence, the required probability is 0.015625.
