Here we want to find the equation of the line containing the median CP.

P, being the midpoint of AB can be found using the midpoint formula as:

\displaystyle{ P=( \frac{-4+4}{2} ,  \frac{-2+4}{2} )=(0, 1).


The slope m of the line through CP can be found by the slope formula using points C(18, -8) and P(0, 1):

\displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{-8-1}{18-0}= \frac{-9}{18}= \frac{-1}{2}.


Now, we can write the equation of the line with slope -1/2, passing through
P(0, 1):

y-1= \frac{-1}{2}(x-0)\\\\y= -\frac{1}{2}x+1.


Answer: y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1

Grace rakes leaves everyday for one week. She fills the same number of bags with leaves on each of the 5 weekdays. She fills 11
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

3 bags per weekday

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bags of leaves at the end of the week = 26 bags

Bags of leaves she fills over the weekend = 11 bags

Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays = x bags

Total bags of leaves at the end of the week = Bags of leaves she fills over the weekend + Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays

26 = 11 + x

Subtract 11 from both sides

26 - 11 = 11 - 11 + x

15 = x

x = 15 bags

If she fills the same number of bags with leaves on each of the 5 weekdays.

how many bags she filled each weekday.

Bags she filled each weekday = Total Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays / 5 weekdays

= 15 bags / 5 weekdays

= 3 bags per weekday
