The inequality should read:
Subtract 2 from all the terms:
Divide all the terms by -5 to get x by itself (note that you flip the inequality signs as you divide by a negative):
The inequality is 2 ≤ x < 8.
A closed dot represents ≤, and an open dot represents <. Since x can represent all values between 2 and 8, you will shade in between 2 and 8 on the number line. x is greater than or equal to 2, so there will be a closed dot on 2. x is less than 8, so there will be an open dot on 8.
The answer is 'number line with a closed dot on 2 and an open dot on 8 and shading in between'.
Answer: A negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite of a negative is positive, the opposite of a positive is a negative.
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint (a, b) of line joining points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)
a = x₁ + x₂ / 2
b = y₁ + y₂ / 2
Given that the midpoint of AB is (4, -3).
i.e. (a, b) = (4, -3)
Given that A has coordinate (1, 5).
i.e. (x₁, y₁) = (1, 5)
We have to determine the coordinates of B.
i.e. (x₂, y₂) = B
Thus,
4 = (1 + x₂)/2
(1 + x₂) = 4 × 2
1 + x₂ = 8
x₂ = 7
and
-3 = (5 + y₂)/2
(5 + y₂) = -3 × 2
5 + y₂ = -6
y₂ = -11
so (x₂, y₂) = (7, -3) = B
Thus, the coordinates of B = (x₂, y₂) = (7, -3)
Therefore,
x₂ + y₂ = 7 + (-3)
= 7 - 3
= 4
Hence, the value of x₂ + y₂ = 4
