The answer may be c but if not i am super sorry!!
Answer:
(3,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates together and divide by 2
The x coordinate is
(x1+x2)/2
We know one point and the midpoint
( -1+x)/2 = 1
Multiply by 2
-1 +x = 2
Add 1
x =2+1
x=3
To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates together and divide by 2
The y coordinate is
(y1+y2)/2
We know one point and the midpoint
(3+y)/2 = -1
Multiply by 2
3+y = -2
Subtract 3
y = -2-3
y =-5
The other endpoint is (3,-5)
You are given two x and y pairs: (100,45) and (570,162.5)
First solve for the slope, m.
m = (162.5 - 45) / (570 - 100)
m = 117.5 / 470
m = 0.25
Not only is "m" the slope but it is the rate (dollars per minute) in the question. So it's 25 cents per minute to use the phone.
After imputing "m" the linear equation looks like this:
y = 0.25x + b
Use either point as (x,y) to solve for the y-intercept "b". I'll use (100,45)
45 = 0.25(100) + b
45 = 25 + b
45 - 25 = b
20 = b
Not only is "b" the y-intercept but it is also always the flat fee added on to linearly increasing cost questions like this.
Final equation is:
y = 0.25x + 20
Part B.) If 939 minutes are used. Just put that in for x and solve for y.
y = 0.25(939) + 20
y = 234.75 + 20
y = 254.75
1.54-.10=1.44
Subtract the two to find your answer
