Answer:

(9/2, -25/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Midpoint Formula:  The midpoint of the segment joining points (x_1,\,y_1) and (x_2,\,y_2) is \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right).

\left(\frac{20+(-11)}{2},\,\frac{-15+(-10)}{2}\right)

(\frac{9}{2},\,-\frac{25}{2})

By the way, instead of trying to memorize the formula, why not just think the x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the points. The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the points.

The average of two numbers is exactly halfway between them!

Percy solved the equation x2 + 7x + 12 = 12. His work is shown below. Is Percy correct? Explain.
antoniya [11.8K]
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12

= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12

= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12

= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12

= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12


Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.



Percy should follow the following steps :

= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12


Add -12 on both sides,


= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12

= > x² + 7x = 0

= > x( x + 7 ) = 0

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )



Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7
