Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)

C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2} and 4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

Solve for each:

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}

2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2

4 = x_1 + 5

4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5

-1 = x_1

x_1 = -1

4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2

8 = y_1 + 7

8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7

1 = y_1

y_1 = 1

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)

B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2} and -5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

Solve for each:

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}

-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2

-8 = x_1 - 2

-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2

-6 = x_1

x_1 = -6

-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2

-10 = y_1 - 9

-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9

-1 = y_1

y_1 = -1

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

Identify the property used in each of the steps​
suter [353]

Answer: (1) Distributive (2) Commutative (3) Associative

              (4) Commutative  (5) Addition Property of Equality

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1) Distributive

(x + 4) was multiplied by 3 and (2x - y) was multiplied by 5

2) Commutative

10x and -5y switched places

3) Associative

The parenthesis changed partners

4) Commutative

(12y - 5y) and 10x switched places

5) Addition Property

Like terms were added together --> 3x + 10x = 13x and 12y - 5y = 7y

The baseball coach is 70 inches tall. How tall is the child?
tankabanditka [31]

The child is <u>59.4 inches tall</u>, assuming the length from the coach's shoulder to his head cap is approximately 10 inches.

<h3>What is Heigth?</h3>

Height refers to the vertical distance between the top and bottom of something.

Height measures the length of some objects or persons vertically to determine whether it is high or low, according to some ascertained criteria.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Baseball coach's height = 70 inches

Coach's shoulder to head = 10.6 inches

Height of the child standing slightly below the coach's shoulder = 59.4 inches (70 - 10.6)

Thus, the child standing slightly below the coach's shoulder is 59.4 inches tall.

<h3>Question Completion:</h3>

Assume that the height of the coach from his shoulder to the head is 10.6 inches.
