Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint

Answer:

The other endpoint is (11,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Midpoint Formula</u>

<u />\large\boxed{(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )}

We already know the another endpoint which is (3,5). We substitute x = 3 and y = 5 in the formula. You can substitute in x1, x2 or y1, y2. I'll substitute in first x-term and first y-term instead.

\large{\begin{cases} \frac{3+x}{2}=7\\\frac{5+y}{2}=-2 \end{cases}}

Because sum of two x-coordinate (along with y-coordinate) divided by two must equal to the midpoint (Let's say that you get the value of midpoint when using midpoint formula.)

Solve the equation for both terms.

\large{\begin{cases} \frac{3+x}{2}=7\\\frac{5+y}{2}=-2 \end{cases}}

Cancel the denominator by multiplying the whole equation by 2.

\large{\begin{cases} \frac{3+x}{2}(2)=7(2)\\\frac{5+y}{2}(2)=-2(2) \end{cases}}\\\large{\begin{cases} 3+x=14\\ 5+y=-4 \end{cases}}

Isolate x-term and y-term.

\end{cases}}\\\large{\begin{cases} 3+x=14\\ 5+y=-4 \end{cases}}\\\end{cases}}\\\large{\begin{cases} x=14-3\\ y=-4-5 \end{cases}}\\\end{cases}}\\\large{\begin{cases} x=11\\ y=-9 \end{cases}}

Therefore, when x = 11, y = -9. We can write in ordered pair as (11,-9). The ordered pair (11,-9) is our other endpoint of the line segment. This can be proved by using the distance formula between midpoint and endpoints.

<em>Note: The distance of (3,5) and (7,-2) must equal to the distance of (11,-9) and (7,-2)</em>

What is the area of the right triangle shown?
prisoha [69]
The 30:60:90 proportion is 1:sqrt 3: 2

So,

x = 10/2
x = 5

y = 10/sqrt 3

Finding the area:

1/2 * 5 * 10/sqrt 3
25/sqrt 3

Hope this helps!

Please Help.<br> Write the equation of linear Inequalities to represent each graph.
DerKrebs [107]

Green Line:

This is a horizontal line at x = 0, so it would be:

x ? 0      

Since the shaded area is going to the left of 0 (this means x is negative):

x ≤ 0


Blue Line:

The shaded area is below the line, so:

y ≤ mx + b

When x = 0, y is -5.

y ≤ mx - 5

From each point, you go up 3 units, and to the right 4 units, so the slope is \frac{3}{4}.


y\leq \frac{3}{4}x-5
