Use the midpoint formula.
(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2
Then you should be able to find the reflection line based on where the middle of the two points are.
Answer:
the answer is 15 subtract the highest number from the lowest
You have the correct axis of symmetry value. Nice work.
Plug that x value into the equation to get...
y = -2x^2 - 12x - 10
y = -2*(-3)^2 - 12*(-3) - 10 <<-- replace every x with -3; then use PEMDAS
y = -2*(9) - 12*(-3) - 10
y = -18 + 36 - 10
y = 18 - 10
y = 8
The vertex is the ordered pair (-3, 8)
Note: the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex
Traditional 1/2 * base * height
Heron’s formula (it’s quite lengthy so search it up)
Hope this helped you :)
to get an A, she needs >=160 points and she already has 125 points
let 'x' be the number of points on the last part of her project then
125 + x >= 160
x >= 160 - 125
x >= 35
Sarah needs at least 35 points on the last part of her project.
