Answer:

(6, -17)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate of a midpoint, (5, -12), and one endpoint, (4, -7), the other endpoint can be determined as follows:

The midpoint formula is given as M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}).

Since we are given ordered pairs of the midpoint and one endpoint, we would find the other ordered pair of the endpoint as shown below.

Let the other endpoint be (x_1, y_1)

Midpoint = M(5, -12)

Let the given endpoint = (4, -7) = (x_2, y_2)

Thus:

M(5, -12) = (\frac{x_1 + 4}{2}, \frac{y_1 +(-7)}{2})

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of the other endpoints

5 = \frac{x_1 + 4}{2} and -12 = \frac{y_1 - 7}{2}

Solve for each:

5 = \frac{x_1 + 4}{2}

5*2 = \frac{x_1 + 4}{2}*2

10 = x_1 + 4

10 - 4 = x_1 + 4 - 4

6 = x_1

x_1 = 6

-12 = \frac{y_1 - 7}{2}

-12*2 = \frac{y_1 - 7}{2}*2

-24 = y_1 - 7

-24 + 7 = y_1 - 7 + 7

-17 = y_1

y_1 = -17

Ordered pair of the other endpoint is (6, -17)

Which number logically follows this series 4 6 9 6 14 6?
Firlakuza [10]
I would say 19.
If you take out the 6s and just look at the rest you have 4, 9, 14.
It is adding 5 each time and just have a 6 between each one.
So logically I would say 19.

Find the solution to the system<br> of equations. Y=1/2x-1 and x=4
oksano4ka [1.4K]

the point where the two lines intersect will be your answer.

from the photo, your x-coordinate will be 4, and your y-coordinate will be 1. that's where the two lines meet, so that's the solution.

the answer will be (4,1).

i hope i helped! good luck.

I'm sorry but what!? Can someone help?
tatiyna

Step-by-step explanation:

Axis of symmetry for quadratic ax² + bx² + c:

x = -b/2a.

Therefore for y = x² - 4x + 2,

-b/2a = -(-4)/2(1) = 2

The axis of symmetry is x = 2.
