The answer choice isn't even up there. The answer is 15. Since Because hit 22 home runs; you would just subtract to find the number of Beverly's home runs since it says "7 more home runs than Beverly".
22 - 7= 15.
Hopefully this helps
The known endpoint is P = (-16,0)
Let Q = (x,y) be the other endpoint. It is unknown for now.
Looking at the x coordinates of P and Q, we see that they are -16 and x respectively. Adding these values up gives -16+x. Dividing that result by 2 gives (-16+x)/2. This result is exactly equal to the midpoint x coordinate, which is the x coordinate of M (0).
So we have this equation (-16+x)/2 = 0. Let's solve for x
(-16+x)/2 = 0
2*(-16+x)/2 = 2*0
-16+x = 0
x-16 = 0
x-16+16 = 0+16
x = 16
Therefore the x coordinate of point Q is 16.
------------------------------------
Let's do something similar for the y coordinates.
The y coordinates of P and Q are 0 and y respectively. Add them up and divided by 2, then set the result equal to -16 (y coordinate of midpoint M) getting this equation (0+y)/2 = -16
Solve for y
(0+y)/2 = -16
y/2 = -16
2*y/2 = 2*(-16)
y = -32
The y coordinate of point Q is -32
------------------------------------
The point Q goes from (x,y) to (16, -32)
Final Answer: (16, -32)
Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.
We can distribute this expression to get
.
An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.
Now, if we wanted to add a number to
to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.
Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is
