Answer:

(-12 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>GIVEN :-</u>

  • Co-ordinates of one endpoint = (-4 , -10)
  • Co-ordinates of the midpoint = (-8 , -4)

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

  • Co-ordinates of another endpoint.

<u>FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-</u>

<em><u>Section Formula :-</u></em>

Let AB  be a line segment where co-ordinates of A = (x¹ , y¹) and co-ordinates of B = (x² , y²). Let P be the midpoint of AB . So , by using section formula , the co-ordinates of P =

(x , y) = (\frac{x^2 + x^1}{2} ,\frac{y^2 + y^1}{2} )

<u>PROCEDURE :-</u>

Let the co-ordinates of another endpoint be (x , y)

So ,

(-8 , -4) = (\frac{-4 + x}{2} , \frac{-10 + y}{2} )

First , lets solve for x.

=> \frac{x - 4}{2} = -8

=> x - 4 = -8 \times 2 = -16

=> x = -16 + 4 = -12

Now , lets solve for y.

=> \frac{y - 10}{2} = -4

=> y - 10 = -4 \times 2 = -8

=> y = -8 + 10 = 2

∴ The co-ordinates of another endpoint = (-12 , 2)

Answer:

option 3) EF= -7 FG= -7

Step-by-step explanation

X= 1/2

EF= 2X-8

    = 2 X 1/2 -8

    =1 - 8

EF = -7

FG= 4X -9

     = 4X 1/2

     2 - 9

FG     = -7

(1) Ax + By = C (2) Dx + Ey = F Jim is trying to solve the system of equations. He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and e
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

No, Angela is not correct.

As the method Jim was performing will also lead to the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given first equation as:

                  Ax + By = C

Second equation is:

                   Dx + Ey = F

Jim solved the equation as:

He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and equation (2) by A.

and so by subtracting both the equations he will obtain a value of y.

and then put the y-value in any of the given two equations to obtain the value of x.

Angela Method:

you should have multiplied equation (1) by E and equation (2) by B.

and when she will subtract both the equations she will get the value of x first and then when she will put the value of x in any of the given equation she will obtain the value of y.

But both will get a value for x and y.

Hence, the method Jim was performing was also correct.

For a track meet, Tara ran the 1,600 m event at constant speed in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. What was her speed?
9966 [12]

Answer:

300 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the general formula of d = rt, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time, we can solve for the missing variable (r, or speed). Given Tara's distance of 1600 m and her total time of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, first convert her time into just minutes:

5 \frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}

5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}

1600 = r(16/3)

Multiply both sides by reciprocal of 16/3:  3/16(1600) = r(16/3)(3/16)

Solve for 'r': 300 meters per minute
