Answer:
d) (-3/2, -1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint (M) between two given points is the average of their coordinate values:
M = (A + B)/2 = ((-8, 1) +(5, -2))/2 = (-3, -1)/2
M = (-3/2, -1/2) . . . . . matches choice D
Answer:
y= 13/7x+90/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: f(x)= 2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given information we can come up with two points that will be use to find the slope and y-intercept.
If you input 0 you get -3 so the point will be (0,-3)
If you input 7 you get 11 so the point will be (7,11)
Now use the points to find the difference in their y coordinates and divide it by the difference in their x coordinates to find the slope.
y coordinates: -3 - 11 = -14
x coordinates: 0 - 7 = -7
-14/-7 = 2
Since the slope is two, we will use the slope intercept formula (y = mx +b) to find the b which is the y intercept.
Use one of the points and input its x and y coordinates into the formula including the slope to solve for b.
-3= 2(0) +b
-3 = 0 + b
b = -3
f(x) is the same as y in the formula, meaning that the equation will be
f(x) = 2x -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.
If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is
and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:
and doing that gives us
5x + 3x = 15 and
8x = 15 so
x = 1.875 hours which is 1 7/8 hours which is also 1 hour and 52 1/2 minutes.
