<h3>Answer: (3, -2)</h3>

Explanation:

Your teacher wants you to find the midpoint. This is the point that is in the middle of the two given points. Let's call this M. So the distance from M to (5,-5) will be the same as the distance from M to (1,1)

The x coordinates of (5,-5) and (1,1) are 5 and 1 respectively.

Add them up: 5+1 = 6

Divide by two: 6/2 = 3

The x coordinate of the midpoint is x = 3

Repeat for the y values -5 and 1

Add: -5+1 = -4

Divide in half: -4/2 = -2

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = -2

So the midpoint is M = (x,y) = (3,-2)

If you were to use the distance formula, you would find that

distance from (5,-5) to (3,-2) = distance from (3,-2) to (1,1)

This is what it means to be "equidistant" (aka "equally distant")

A magazine subscription costs $29.88 for 12 issues or $15.24 for 6 issues. Which subscription costs more per issue? How much mor

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The magazine that cost $15.24 for 6 issues cost more by $0.60/60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $15.24 is 6 issues each and you need to even out the issues add $15.24+$15.24 then you would get $30.48, because its 15.24 each 6 add them both and it would be 12 issues. And the first issue $29.88 for 12 issues is only $29.88 while the other is $30.48 so the one with 6 issues/the second cost more than the first.

60 cents more because 29.88+60=30.48.

At t=0, a rock is dropped from rest from the top of a building 256 ft high. With what velocity will it strike the ground? What i

Rasek [7]

Answer:

128 ft / second.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's acceleration is due to gravity and is 32 ft s^-2.

To find the velocity when it hits the ground we use the equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2gs where u = initial velocity, g = acceleration , s = distance.

v^2 = 0^2 + 2 * 32 * 256
