Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint. Endpoint: (-2, -6) Midpoint: (-5, 1)

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

(-8,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint $M(x_M,y_M)$ of the segment AB with endpoints $A(x_A,y_A)$ and $B(x_B,y_B)$ has coordinates

$x_M=\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2}\\ \\y_M=\dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}$

In your case, $A(-2,-6), \ M(-5,1),$ then

$-5=\dfrac{-2+x_B}{2}\Rightarrow -2+x_B=-10,\ x_B=-10+2=-8\\ \\1=\dfrac{-6+y_B}{2}\Rightarrow -6+y_B=2,\ y_B=2+6=8$

HELP RIGHT NOW PIZZZ = FASTEST ANSWER BRAINLIEST AND I WILL THANK U

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

1) The slope of the function $g(x)$ is $0$ and the slope of the function $f(x)$ is $-1$ .

2) The negative slope of the function $f(x)$ shows that it is the line is increasing and the slope $0$ of the function $g(x)$ shows that the line will always have the same y-coordinate.

3) The slope of the function is $f(x)$ is greater than the slope of the function $g(x)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to know that the slope of any horizontal line is zero ( $m=0$ )

The slope of a line can be found with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

You can observe in the graph of the function $g(x)$ given in the exercise, that this is an horizontal line. Then, you can conclude that its slope is:

$m=0$

The steps to find the slope of the function $f(x)$ shown in the table attached, are the following:

- Choose two points, from the table:

$(0,3)$ and $(4,-1)$

- You can say that:

$y_2=-1\\y_1=3\\\\x_2=4\\x_1=0$

- Substitute values into the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ :

$m=\frac{-1-3}{4-0}$

- Finally, evaluating, you get:

$m=\frac{-4}{4}\\\\m=-1$

Therefore:

1) The slope of the function $g(x)$ is $0$ and the slope of the function $f(x)$ is $-1$ .

2) The negative slope of the function $f(x)$ shows that it is the line is increasing and the slope $0$ of the function $g(x)$ shows that the line will always have the same y-coordinate.

3) The slope of the function is $f(x)$ is greater than the slope of the function $g(x)$ .
