What is the midpoint of PQ with endpoints P (–3, 4) and Q (5, –8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint are:  (1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for midpoint coordinates knowing the end points (x1, y1) (x2, y2):

xm = x1 + (x2-x1)/2

in our case:

xm = -3 + (5 - - 3)/2 = - 3 + (8/2) = -3 + 4 = 1

ym = y1 + (y2-y1)/2

in our case:

ym = 4 + (- 8 - 4)/2 = 4 + (-12/2) = 4 - 6 = -2

The coordinates of the midpoint are:  (1, -2)

jeka94

Answer:

y=-2/5x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y+7=-2/5(x-10)

step 1:

-2/5(x-10)= -2/5x-4

step 2:

y+7=-2/5x-4+7

step 3:

y=-2/5x+3

On a true-false quiz, the probability of achieving a perfect score by guessing is halved for each additional question on the qui
Crank
For each question, there is a 1/2 chance at getting the question correct by guessing.

Let's take a scenario to better understand.
Suppose the true-false paper has 5 questions. For a perfect score by guessing, you'd need to get all 5 correct (ie (1/2)⁵)
The reason why you multiply is because you need each 1/2 simultaneously for a perfect score, which is an important concept when doing binomial probability later on.

Thus, let's use this knowledge to answer the question.
We need the minimum amount of questions such that the probability is less than 1/10.

We can write an inequality for this:

\frac{1}{10} < \frac{1}{2}^{n}
Now, we need to log both sides to find n.
log_(\frac{1}{2}) \frac{1}{10} < n
n > 3.3219...
n ≈ 4

Thus, 4 questions is the minimum number of questions needed.
