Use the points and do y2-y1 divided by x2-x1
You will get -2 which is the m (slope)
Substitute one of the points into the y and x to get the b (y-intercept)
You will get -6
Put everything into the equation
y=-2x-6
The midpoint of the segment shown below is (1, -3/2). Option A) is the correct answer.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The two end points of the line segments are (1,2) and (1,-5).
<u>step 1</u> :
Midpoint formula = ((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 +y 2)/2)
<u>step 2</u> :
(x1, y1) = (1, 2)
(x2, y2) = (1, -5)
<u>step 3</u> :
Substitute the values in the midpoint formula,
Midpoint = ((1 + 1)/2 , (2 -5)/2)
= ((2/2) , (-3/2))
= (1, -3/2)
<u><em>16.1 is the final answer. </em></u>
<em>Product- it's going to be multiply by the numbers only.</em>
<em>You can also round up to the nearest tenths is 16.0</em>
