Answer:
The coordinates of other point are: (5,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given coordinates are:
M(x,y) = (2,4)
R(x_1,x_2) = (-1,7)
We have to find the coordinates of other point (x2,y2)
The formula for mid-point is given by:
Putting the values we get
Putting respective elements equal
Hence,
The coordinates of other point are: (5,1)
There is no real planet that is 1/10 the distance Uranus is from the sun, however the planetoid (smaller planet), Vesta is 1/9 the distance Uranus is from the sun.
Your Question:
<span>Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 more pieces of candy. Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends, and she wants to make sure they each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?
My Answer:
If Laurie has four bags with ten pieces in each bag, and if her father gives her five more pieces, she would have forty-five pieces and if she has six friends and wants to share it equally with six friends. Each friend would get 7 pieces.

You have the correct answer. Nice work. If you need to see the steps, then see below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First we need to find the midpoint of H and I
The x coordinates of the two points are -4 and 2. They add to -4+2 = -2 and then cut that in half to get -1
Do the same for the y coordinates: 2+4 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3
So the midpoint of H and I is (-1,3). The perpendicular bisector will go through this midpoint
---------------------
Now we must find the slope of segment HI
H = (-4,2) = (x1,y1)
I = (2,4) = (x2,y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(2 - (-4))
m = (4 - 2)/(2 + 4)
m = 2/6
m = 1/3
Flip the fraction to get 1/3 ---> 3/1 = 3
Then flip the sign: +3 ----> -3
So the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -3
-----------------------
Use m = -3 which is the slope we found
and (x,y) = (-1,3), which is the midpoint found earlier
to get the following
y = mx+b
3 = -3*(-1)+b
3 = 3+b
3-3 = 3+b-3
0 = b
b = 0
So if m = -3 and b = 0, then y = mx+b turns into y = -3x+0 and it simplifies to y = -3x
So that confirms you have the right answer. I've also used GeoGebra to help confirm the answer (see attached)
