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

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y = 3/4 + 2?
Elodia [21]
3/4 because it’s parallel so it has the same slope. It just doesn’t pass through the same line.

Which of the following comparisons is FALSE?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check each one-by-one.

a.

we know 3.79 liters is 1 gallon, so 4 liters IS NOT LESS THAN 1 gallon

THis is false.

b.

We know 1 feet is 0.30 meters, so definitely 1 foot is less than 1 meter.

This is true.

c.

we know around 28.35 grams is 1 ounce, so definitely 25 grams is less than 1 ounce.

THis is true.

d.

We know 1 km is approximately 0.62 miles so 10 km would be around 0.62*10 = 6.2 miles

So definitely 9 miles IS GREATER than 10 km.

THis is true.

So answer choice A is false, only.

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (-8,2) and is parallel to 5x-4y=4. Enter your equation in slope inte
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

y = 5/4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4y = 4

-4y = -5x + 4

y = (-5x + 4)/-4

y = 5/4x - 1

Parallel Slope ---> m = 5/4

(-8, 2)

y = mx + b

2 = 5/4(-8) + b

2 = 5 * -2 + b

2 = -10 + b

12 = b

b = 12

y = 5/4x + 12      <---- This is the answer

Hope this helps!
