The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)

First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint.

x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4

y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1

Therefore B must be (-4, 1)

Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages.

x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4

y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7

So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)

A bank loaned out $19,000, part of it at the rate of 9 % per year and the rest at 19 % per year. If the interest received in o

VMariaS [17]

Answer: $11100 was loaned at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the

bank loaned out at the annual rate of 9%.

Let y represent the amount that the

bank loaned out at the annual rate of 19%.

The bank loaned out $19,000, part of it at the rate of 9% per year and the rest at 19% per year. It means that

x + y = 19000

The interest on $x after 1 year would be

9/100 × x = 0.09x

The interest on $y after 1 year would be

19/100 × y = 0.19y

If the interest received in one year totaled $2500. It means that

0.09x + 0.19y = 2500- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 19000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.09(19000 - y) + 0.19y = 2500

1710 - 19000y + 0.19y = 2500

- 0.09y + 0.19y = 2500 - 1710

- 0.1y = - 790

y = - 790/- 0.1

y = $7900

x = 19000 - y = 19000 - 7900

x = $11100
