Assume Alan's brother has x coins before Alan gave him 48 coins
x+48=1.4x (increased by 40%)
0.4x=48
x=120
120+140=260
answer is 260 coins

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (-2, 5) and (4, -9).Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoi

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The midpoint is $(1,-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

we have

$(x1,y1)=(-2,5)$

$(x2,y2)=(4,-9)$

substitute

$M(\frac{-2+4}{2},\frac{5-9}{2})$

$M(1,-2)$
