What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (-4,6) and (-8,-2)

1 answer:

4 0

The formula to find the midpoint of a segment is ((x1 + x2)/2,),(y1 + y2)/2).

The x coordinate of the first point is -4, and the x coordinate of the second point is -8. The y coordinate of the first point is 6, and the y coordinate of the second point is -2. Now, we can plug these into our formula.

((-4 + (-8))/2), (6 + (-2))/2)) = (-12/2), (4/2) = (-6, 2)

So, (-6, 2) is the midpoint of the segment.

What fraction equal to 1/2 with a denominator of 6 and a fraction equal to 1/3 with a denominator of 6. Then add the fractions.

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + 1/3 need a common denominator to add them up.

1/2 is the same as 3/6.

1/3 is the sane as 2/6.

3/6 + 2/6

Add the tops, but keep the same denominator.

3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

5/6 cannot be simplified, so that's the answer. That's how you do it! Hope this helps!

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 15% off clearan

astra-53 [7]

Answer: 34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price is marked down by 60% with an additional discount of 15% on the marked down price

Suppose x is the original price of the item

After marking down, it is

$\Rightarrow x-x\times 0.6=0.4x$

after additional discount it is

$\Rightarrow 0.4x(1-0.15)=0.4x\times 0.85=0.34x$

Effective discount on the item is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x-0.34x}{x}\times 100=66\%$

Thus, a person is paying $100-66=34\%$ of the original price

-5x+7+2x-13<9 Please Explain

olganol [36]

Ok the answer is -5 less than 9 which is true lol

Anyways here’s how I got the answer

-5+7+2x-13 less than 9

Combine like terms in this case it’s -5 and 2, and the other is 7 and -13

-5+2= -3
7-13= -6

Ok now that that’s done here’s the next step

-3x-6 less than 9 solve it

-3x-6 < 9
+6< +6

-3x < 15

Now from there you divide then so
-3x/3 cancels out, and 15/-3 = -5
X=-5

And so -5<9 :) hope this helped!! I will also include a picture of my work (please exult messiness lol)
