Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula.

x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2

-1.5 = (-6 + x) / 2

-3 = -6 + x

x = 3

y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

1 = (5 + y) / 2

2 = 5 + y

y = -3

The other endpoint is (3, -3).

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A contractor has 34 meters of fencing that he is going to use as the perimeter of a rectangular garden.
snow_tiger [21]

Given

Shape of garden: Rectangle

Perimeter: 34 meters

Area: 72 square meters

Length of one side = x

Required

Find the dimension of the rectangle

Let the length of the other side of the rectangle be represented with y.

We start by writing out the perimeter of a rectangle

Perimeter, P = 2(L + B)

Where P is the perimeter; L and B are the length and width of the sides of the rectangle.

In this case L and B are represented by x and y

So,

P = 2(x + y)

By substituting 34 for P

34 = 2(x + y)

Multiply both sides by ½

½ * 34 = ½ * 2(x + y)

17 = x + y

Make y the subject of formula

y = 17 - x

Recall that the sides of the rectangle are represented by x and y.

Hence, the area of the rectangle is as follows.

Area = x * y

Substitute 72 for Area and 17 - x for y

72 = x(17 - x) --- Open bracket

72 = 17x - x² ---- Reorder

x² - 17x + 72 = 0

Now, we have a quadratic equation

Solving by factorisation

x² - 8x - 9x + 72 = 0

x(x - 8) - 9(x - 8) = 0

(x - 8)(x - 9) = 0

x - 8 = 0 or x - 9 = 0

x = 8 or x = 9

Recall that

y = 17 - x.

When x = 8

y = 17 - 8

y = 9

When x = 9

y = 17 - 9

y = 8

Writing out the result, we have

x = 8 , y = 9

Or

x = 9, y = 8

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is 8 metres by 9 metres

azamat

Answer:

50 million

Step-by-step explanation:

current value: c

initial value : i

c = 1.2 × i

x - i = 10

10 + i = 1.2 × i

0.2 ×i = 10

i = 50

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

g(x)=(x+4)^2-5

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) is shifted 5 down in the y axis, meaning you have to subtract 5 from the function, and is shifted 4 to the left in the x axis- meaning you have to add to the x's in the function.
