15. MP(5,11) S(3,5) M(x,y)
(3+x)/2 = 5 x=7
(5+y)/2 =-11 y=-27
M(7,-27) is the other point
Answer:
should be none of the about because each time you multiple by 1/2, i got 1/64 for the 10th
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello once again!
When you see a question like this, you need to find the equation of the straight line.
The formular used is y = mx + c
Where
m = slope
c = constant
First find the slope, since it's a straight line, any 2 coordinates can be used.
Now we need to substitude in the slope, and one of the coordinate you used to find the slope, to the formular to find the constant.
In this case i'm using the coordinate
(-2, 16)
y = mx + c
16 = -6(-2) + c
16 = 12 + c
c = 4
∴ The equation of the line is y = -6x + 4
The next step is to simply substitude in the x = 8 to the equation to find y.
y = -6(8) + 4
y = -48 + 4
y = -44
If we have 420 books for every 7 shelves and are looking for how many books are on 4 shelves, we need to set up fractional proportions.
We have 7 shelves for every 420 books, so we will have our first fraction like this:
7/420.
We also have 4 shelves for every x books, so our second fraction will be 4/x.
Set these fractions up as an equation.
7/420 = 4/x
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply the numerators of one fraction with the denominators of the other fraction.
In other words, multiply the top number of one fraction by the bottom number of the other question.
It should look like this:
7(x)
420(4)
7(x) = 7x
420(4) = 1680
Set your products up as an equation.
7x = 1680
Now to solve for x, we need to simplify.
Currently, x is being multiplied by 7.
To get x alone, divide 7x by 7.
Remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other, so divide 1680 by 7.
7x / 7 = x
1680 / 7 = 240
You are left with:
x = 240.
For every 4 shelves you have 240 books.
I hope this helps!
