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.

Use the linear combination method to solve.<br><br> {x+2y=1 x−2y=5
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x+27=1

 -27  -27

x = -26

2) x-2y=5 (solving for x)

     +2y  +2y

x = 5 + 2y

2) x-2y=5 (solving for y)

  -x       -x

2y = 5 -x

2y/2    5/2   -x/2

y = 5 - x

   _____

        2         (5-x over 2)
