A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation:
78-17.5*2 = 43 so C
Answer:
0.67
Step-by-step explanation:
all you need to do is divide 10 by 15
Hello.
To find the slope, use the formula:
m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Note: The 2s and 1s are NOT exponents or constants. They are simply markers.
So:
m= (5-(-4)) / (2-0)
m= (5+4) / 2
m = 9/2
Note: The order of the coordinates don't matter as long as y2 is aligned with x2 etc.
Example: (okay)
m= ((-4)-5) / (0-2)
m= -9/ -2
m= 9/2 because a negative multiplied or divided by a negative makes a positive.
Now, let's see what's not okay:
(2,5)(0,-4)
m= (5-(-4)) / (0-2)
NOT. OKAY. since the 1s and 2s aren't aligned.
Hope that helped.

Disclaimer:
Always double check with a reliable source, as mistakes can be made.
plug in 6 for x and 17 for y
so, 4(6)+5(17)=109
