Answer:
(2, - 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the mid point formula and equate to each coordinate of the midpoint
with endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then
midpoint = ( ,
)
let S = (x, y) , then
= 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
x = 2
and
= - 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
y + 2 = - 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
y = - 6
Then S (2, - 6 )
Answer:
a). y = 0.25x + 15
b). x = 480 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). Let the equation of the linear function passing through a point (x', y') is,
y - y' = m(x - x')
'm' = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Two points lying on the linear function will be (200, 65) and (250, 77.5).
Slope of the line 'm' =
m =
=
= 0.25
Therefore, equation of the line passing through (200, 65) and slope 0.25 will be,
y - 65 = 0.25(x - 200)
y - 65 = 0.25x - 50
y = 0.25x + 15
(b). For y = $135 we have to calculate the number of cups of coffee produced.
135 = 0.25x + 15
0.25x = 135 - 15
0.25x = 120
x = 480 cups
Therefore, 480 cups of coffee will be produced.
