This is valid through the law of syllogism. If you swap lines 1 and 2, then you'll have this argument:
If I step on a beehive, then I will get stung.
If I get stung by a bee, then it will hurt.
Therefore, if I step on a beehive, then it will hurt
------------------
So it's like connecting a chain together. Point A (stepping on the hive), leads to point B (getting stung), which leads to point C (getting hurt). We can take a shortcut to bypass point B to jump from A to C in one step. Check out the attached image for a visual of what I'm referring to.
We have that
point C and point D have y = 0-----------> (the bottom of the trapezoid).
point A and point B have y = 4e ---------- > (the top of the trapezoid)
the y component of midpoint would be halfway between these lines
y = (4e+ 0)/2 = 2e.
<span>the x component of the midpoint of the midsegment would be halfway between the midpoint of AB and the midpoint of CD.
x component of midpoint of AB is (4d + 4f)/2.
x component of midpoint of CD is (4g + 0)/2 = 4g/2.
x component of a point between the two we just found is
[(4d + 4f)/2 + 4g/2]/2 = [(4d + 4f + 4g)/2]/2 = (4d + 4f + 4g)/4 = d + f + g.
</span>therefore
the midpoint of the midsegment is (d + f + g, 2e)
Answer: x is less than or equal to 35.
Step-by-step explanation:
You use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) so if you have two points (ex: (1,2) and (2,4)), plug in those number into the formula
(4-2)/(2-1) = 2/1 = 2 so the slope (or instantaneous rate of change) is 2 for those two points<span />
