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)

A suit originally costing $240 is on sale for 25% off the original price. Sales tax is 7.5%. What is the final cost of the suit?
slava [35]

Answer:

$193.50

Step-by-step explanation:

start by multiplying 240 by .25 (25%) to find out how much is 25% of 240. this equals 60.

then, subtract $60 from $240. equals 180.

next, to add the sales tax, multiply 180 by 0.075 (7.5%) this is $13.50.

lastly, add the tax, which is $13.50, to the suit's sale price, which is $180.

180+13.5= $193.50
