Equating the y's:-
3x + c = x^2 - 5x + 7
x^2 - 8x +7 - c = 0
If y = 3x + c is a tangent then there will be duplicate solutions to this equation
That is the discriminant b^2 - 4ac = 0. So we have:-
(-8)^2 - 4 * 1 * (7 -c) = 0
64 -28 + 4c = 0
4c = - 36
so c = -9 answer

3/2 ÷3/4 = 3/2 * 4/3 = 12/6 = 2
Answer:
62/100 but simplified is 32/50
We can find the midpoint of any line segment using the midpoint formula: M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2). Essentially, the midpoint formula finds the average of two points. If we use B and the first point and C as the second, when we plug in our values we would have M=(5-4/2,9-5/2). This can be simplified to M=(1/2,4/2) or M=(1/2,2) which is the final answer.
