The given coordinates are:
p1: (12,4) and p2: (-8,8)
Th x coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Xmidpoint = (x1+x2) / 2 = (12+-8) / 2 = 4/2 = 2
The y coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Ymidpoint = (y1+y2) / 2 = (4+8) / 2 = 12/2 = 6
Based on the above calculations, the midpoint of the segment with the given coordinates is (2,6)

Answer:
Greatest number: 9
Least number: 2
Range: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
From smallest to largest, the numbers are: 2, 3, 6, 8, 9. The largest (greatest) is 9 and the least (smallest) is 2. The range is 9-2=7.
The number of pennies in bank is 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3
Let 14x be the number of pennies in piggy bank
Let 3x be the number of quarters in piggy bank
<em><u>To find: number of pennies</u></em>
Given that there are 51 quarters
number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51
14x + 3x = 51
17x = 51
x = 3
number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42
Thus the number of pennies in bank is 42
