How do I solve this problem b+2/b-1=4/5

Mathematics

Since this is a proportion we cross multiply.
b+2/b-1=4/5 
b-1(4)=b+2(5)
  4b-4=5b+10
    +4 = +4
     4b=5b+14
    -5b=-5b
    -1b=14
divide by -1 on both sides
b=-14

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (9,2) and (-3,-2)
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

(3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is as follows:

( (x1+x2) /2, (y1 + y2) /2 )

x1 would be 9, x2 would be -3, y1 would be 2, y2 would be -2. When plugged in, you should get 6/2, and 0/2 for y. When simplified, x would be 3 and y would be 0. This means that the midpoint of the line segment is (3,0)
