Answer:

The coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

As m is the midpoint, so

m(x, y) = m (-7, -2.5)

The other point a is given by

a(x₁, y₁) = a(-9, -4)

To determine

We need to determine the coordinates of the point b

= ?

Using the midpoint formula

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

substituting (x, y) = (-7, -2.5), (x₁, y₁) = (-9, -4)

\left(-7,\:-2.5\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+\left(-9\right)}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+\left(-4\right)}{2}\right)

Thus equvating,

Determining the x-coordinate of b

[x₂ + (-9)] / 2 = -7

x₂ + (-9) = -14

x₂ - 9 = -14

adding 9 to both sides

x₂ - 9 + 9 = -14 + 9

x₂ = -5

Determining the y-coordinate of b

[y₂ + (-4)] / 2 = -2.5

y₂ + (-4) = -2.5(2)

y₂ - 4 = -5

adding 4 to both sides

y₂ - 4 + 4 = -5 + 4

y₂ = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

What is the scale factor to go from small triangle to the large triangle?
Elis [28]
Divide both numbers in one of the ratios by their highest common factor. This will give you the scale factor of the bigger triangle to the smaller triangle.

Please answer Ill give 5 stars to right answers: a neighbors dog barked at tana the last 4 out of 5 times she walked by their ho
oksian1 [2.3K]
Ratio of dog bark is 4:5

Multiply that by 20 each side

Ratio is now 80:100

So 80%

If they walk past 45 time you just have to multiply the ratio 4:5 by 9

36:45

So the dog would bark 36 times
