Step-by-step explanation:
taking common (a-b)
so we get the answer
Answer:
but please give me and please mark me as
To determine the coordinates of the midpoints of a line segment, get the average of the both the abscissas and ordinates. In this example, the average of the abscissas is 22 and that of the ordinates is -4. Thus, the midpoint is (22, -4).
If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )
All you have to do is plug it into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b
y = (-2)x + 4
y = -2x + 4
the answer is A
