You can read it of the graph which is (1,3) or also calculate it with vectors:

calculate the vector CD:
(5-(-3),2-4)=(8,-2)
to calculate the midpoint you need half of the vector length:
(8,-2)/2=(4,-1)
add the vector to C:
(-3,4)+(4,-1)=(1,3)=midpoint of CD

so it's the third option

Does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?

stiv31 [10]

Given equation of the Circle is ,

$\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25$

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

$\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2$

Here we can say that ,

• Radius = 5 units

• Centre = (0,0)

Finding distance between the two points :-

$\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }$

Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

Hence the point lies within the circle .

After the last stop on Mr. Tuttle’s route, the number of students on the bus is 3/4 of its full capacity. Once Mr. Tuttle has co

sukhopar [10]

From a reliable source, the maximum capacity of a standard bus used as school bus is 72 students. Because the bus that Mr. Tuttle drives is already 3/4 full, only 1/4 of the capacity is unoccupied. With this, the number of the empty seats is calculated by multiplying 72 by 1/4 as shown below.
empty seats = (1/4)(72) = 18

Therefore, the bus could have accommodated 18 more students.

Kevin can travel 22 1/2 miles in 1/3 hour .What is the average speed in miles per hour?

Fantom [35]

You can choose to answer this with fractions or decimals. I'll choose fractions because we won't need calculators. 22 1/2 miles "in" 1/3 hour, means 22 1/2 mi divided by 1/3 hour.
22 1/2 = [(22×2) + 1] ÷ 2 = 45/2
So (45/2)mi ÷ (1/3)hr is the same as (45/2) × (3/1), or (45×3)/2 = 135/2, which is 67 1/2, or 67.5 mi/hr (mph).
