RS => y - 5 = (8 - 5)/(1 - (-1)) (x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 1) => slope = 3/2
ST => y - 8 = (-2 - 8)/(7 - 1) (x - 1)
y - 8 = -10/6 (x - 1) = -5/3 (x - 1) => slope = -5/3
TU => y - (-2) = (0 - (-2))/(2 - 7) (x - 7)
y + 2 = 2/5(x - 7) => slope = 2/5
UR => y = 5/(-1 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -5/3 (x - 2) => slope = -5/3

The median is the line joining the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
Midpoint of RS = ((-1 + 1)/2, (5 + 8)/2) = (0, 13/2)
Midpoint of TU = ((7 + 2)/2, -2/2) = (9/2, -1)

Equation of the line joining (0, 13/2) and (9/2, -1) is given by y - 13/2 = (-1 - 13/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = (-15/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = -15/9x
18y - 117 = -30x
30x + 18y = 117

The equation 6y = 30 - 8x has solutions of (b, 1) and (a, b).<br> What are the values of a and b?
victus00 [196]

The values of a and b are a = \frac{3}{2} and b = 3, respectively.

In this question we need to solve the linear equation for each point, first for (x,y) = (b, 1) and later for (x,y) = (a, b).

If we know that (x,y) = (b, 1), then the value of b is:

6 = 30-8\cdot b

8\cdot b = 24

b = 3

If we know that (x,y) = (a, b) and b = 3, then the value of a is:

6\cdot b = 30 - 8\cdot a

18 = 30-8\cdot a

12 = 8\cdot a

a = \frac{3}{2}

The values of a and b are a = \frac{3}{2} and b = 3, respectively.

What ethical issues have been raised by the scientific community's commitment to ensuring that experimental treatments are not
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

They include;

1. Fewer chances of determining how effective the treatment plan would be.

2. Inability of every patient to access the experimental treatment.

3. Difficulties in making knowledgeable decisions on the treatment plan.

4. Determining that the experimental treatments are offered with the right motive.

Step-by-step explanation:

In medical treatment administration, it is standard practice that drugs undergo clinical trials on test animals before they are administered to patients. However, some sicknesses are without known drugs for treatment or may have drugs that are still undergoing experiments and trials. In such cases, patients may want to be treated with experimental drugs.

Ethical issues such as the above-listed can arise from this. The foremost of them all is the fact that the treatment might prove ineffective thus causing more problems to the patient.
