Answer:
The mid-point of the given line segment is:(5.5,-6.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
let us consider two points A and B with coordinates (a,b) and (c,d) respectively.
let C be the mid point of A and B then then the coordinates of C is given by 
.
in the given question (a,b)=(9,-8) and (c,d)=(2,-5) so the mid point of these two points are 
=(5.5,-6.5)
Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints B(9,-8) and C(2,-5) is (5.5,-6.5).
Answer:
y=-2x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is equal to y=mx+c
where y is the y value
x is the x value
m is the gradient
and c is the y intercept
so the equation for this set of values is equal to
y=-2x+7
Answer:
a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 - 3)/(5 - a)
2/(5 - a)
perpendicular of 2/(5 - a) = -(5 - a)/2
(a - 0)/(1 - 0) = -(5 - a)/2
a/1 = -(5 - a)/2
2a = -5 + a
a = -5
Answer: Negative 1 The slope of parallel lines is the same.
The attachment shows two such lines, given coordinates labeled.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope of the line passing through the given points.
rise/run
Rise is the difference in y-values 7-(-5) = 12
Run is the difference between x-values -5 - 7 = - 12
The Slope is 12/-12 simplify:
slope = -1
Answer:
x^2 -2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of a quadratic equation as
ax^2 + bx + c
x^2 -2x +
Comparing the two equations
a = 1 , b = -2, c = ?
c becomes the missing part
Divide b by 2
-2/2 = -1
square the result
-1^2
= 1 this is what to add to get a perfect square
x^2 -2x + 1
(x - 1)^2
