Ok, you can refer to the midpoint formula to find the endpoint.  Here goes...


MP=(2,-7) and EP=(8,-5)
Let x represent the missing endpoint.
(8+x)/2=2      NOTE: =2 represents first number of MP and the representation of number 8 is self explanatory.  You have two endpoints but need to identify the other endpoint so you divide by 2.  Then, multiply by two on both sides.
2(8+x)/2 = 2*2
16+x/2=4 do the next step (simplify) on the left side of equation 16x/2=8
Now, subtract 4-8=-4  So, the x coordinated of the missing endpoint is -4.

Answer : The coordinates of another endpoint is, (-4, -9)

Step-by-step explanation :

The expression used to calculate the coordinates of another endpoint of a segment with midpoint is:

Let the coordinates of midpoint be, (x,y)

The coordinates of one endpoint be, (x₁,y₁)

The coordinates of another endpoint be, (x₂,y₂)

(x,y)=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

As we are given that:

(x,y) = (2, -7)

(x₁,y₁) = (8, -5)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

(x,y)=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} and y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

2=\frac{8+x_2}{2} and -7=\frac{-5+y_2}{2}

x_2=-4 and y_2=-9

Thus, the coordinates of another endpoint is, (x₂,y₂) = (-4, -9)

If n is a positive even number, then the product of (-12)ⁿ will be what
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a positive even number.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggest plugging in random positive even numbers and finding a pattern. (-12)^2 = 144. (-12)^ 4= 20,736. this is because two negatives, when multiplied, turn to a positive. the n is how many times negative 12 is multiplied with itself

Nathan just bought a car. He models the value, V, in dollars, of the car after t years as V(t)=21,000(0.861)^t. Based on this mo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Value of the car is decreasing by 13.9% each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation tells us V(t) is the value of the car after a certain time in years, $21,000 is the initial value of the car.  What we need to focus on is on the 0.861 part of this equation.  This means that the price of the car is worth 0.861 or 86.1% of what it was worth the year prior, this means that the price of the car is decreasing over time.  By how much is it decreasing? Well if we consider 1 to mean 100% (since 100 / 100 =1) then we have 100%-86.1%=13.9%.  This means that the value of the car is decreasing 13.9% each year.

Write the equation of the line the passes through (1, -2) and (3, 4) in slope intercept form.​
Alona [7]

Answer:

y=3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope, 4+2 over 3-1, giving you the slope of three

then set up your equation, y=3x+?

I played with the y=3x - part on the website desmos graphing calculator, I first inserted the points then found the slope and then played with the equation till it went through both the points.
