Answer:

Decreased by 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x ? = 0.4

? = 0.4/0.5

? = 0.8

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

0.2 = 20%

To check, 20% of 0.5 is 0.1. 0.5 - 0.1 is 0.4. So the answer is correct.

M is the midpoint of segment CS. C is at (-8, 2) M is at the origin. What are the coordinates of S?

ahrayia [7]

C(-8,2) and M(0,0) , since M is at the origin. Let x₁ and y₁ be the
coordinates of S →s(x₁ , y₁)

C(-8,2) and S(x₁ , y₁)
The coordinates of M, the midpoint of CS are M(x₂ , y₂)

a) x₂ = (-8 + x₁)/2 , but x₂ = 0, then :
0 = -4+x₁/2 and x₁ = 8

b) y₂ = (2+y₁)/2 , but y₂ = o, then:
0 = 2+ y₁/2 and y₂ = -2

Then the coordinates of S are S(8 , -2)
