The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)
First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint.
x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4
y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1
Therefore B must be (-4, 1)
Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages.
x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4
y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7
So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)
Answer:
I’m not sure. If your joking or.
464 divide by 16 is 29. So y would be 29
ANSWER: y= 3x - 6
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
(1,-3) and (3,3)
X1=1 X2=3
Y1= - 3 Y2=3
1) Find the slope of the line.
To find the slope of the line passing through these two points we need to use the slope formula:
m = 
m= 
m=
= 3
2)Use the slope to find the y-intercept.
Now that we know the slope of the line is 3 we can plug the slope into the equation and we get:
y= 3x+b
Next choose one of the two point to plug in for the values of x and y. It does not matter which one of the two points you choose because you should get the same answer in either case. I generally just choose the first point listed so I don’t have to worry about which one I should choose.
y= 3x+b point (1,-3)
-3= 3(1) + b
-3-3=b
-6=b
3)Write the answer.
Using the slope of 3 and the y-intercept of -6 the answer is:
y = 3x - 6
You have to use the quadratic formula to solve this. The zeros of this quadratic are 2 + sqrt2/2 and 2 - sqrt2/2, which in "real" numbers is 1.707 and .2928
