Answer:
B(-5,5).
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that midpoint of AB is M (-6,1).
Coordinates of A are (-7,-3 ).
We need to find the coordinates of point B.
Let coordinates of point B are (a,b).
Midpoint of AB is
On comparing both sides, we get
Therefore, the coordinates of B are (-5,5).
Set up a system of equations and say green route is x and blue route is y
This will give you
Monday 6x + 5y= 52
Tuesday 12x + 13y = 119
Solve by multiplying the top equation by two to get
12x + 10y= 104
Since you have 12x in both equations, these cancel out when you subtract the bottom from the top. This leaves you with
-3y=-15
Y=5
The blue route is 5 miles, but they want to know the green route. Fill in the y value in either one of your equations. Let’s use the one from Tuesday
12x + 13 (5) = 119
12x= 54
X= 4.5
This means that the answer is B, 4.5 miles
They will both have passed 7 tested. It will be in two weeks. Erik will add two tests to his 5 and Julie will add 6 tests to her 1.
