The formulae for the midpoint are correct:

M ( (x₂-x₁)/2 , <span>(y₂-y₁)/2 )

You need to invert these to get x</span>₁ and y₁:
x₁ =2xm - x₂
y₁ =2ym - y₂

Try with the x to prove the formulae are correct:
x<span>₁ =2·(-8) - (-6) = -16 + 6 = -10  which is what we have!

Then, use</span> the other formula for y:
<span>y₁ =2 ·(6) - (7) = 12 - 7 = 5

Therefore y</span>₁ = 5

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x represent the cost of a bag of popcorn

y represent the cost of a drink.

According to given statement;

4x+12y=30      Eqn 1

x+6y=11.25      Eqn 2

Multplying Eqn 2 by 2

2(x+6y=11.25)\\2x+12y=22.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1

(4x+12y)-(2x+12y)=30-22.50\\4x+12y-2x-12y=7.50\\2x=7.50

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{7.50}{2}\\x=3.75

4x+12y=30 and x+6y=11.25 can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75
