(-1,4) (2,2) find midpoint?

notsponge [240]

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\text{The midpoint formula is: }\dfrac{\mathsf{x_2+x_1}}{2}, \dfrac{\mathsf{y_2+y_1}}{2}$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$\mathsf{x_1 = -1}\\\\\mathsf{x_2=2}\\\\\mathsf{y_1=4}\\\\\mathsf{y_2=2}$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$\dfrac{2-1}{2}\\\\\mathsf{2-1 = 1}\\\\\mathsf{2=2}\\\\\\\mathsf{x = \dfrac{\mathsf{1}}{2}}$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$\mathsf{\dfrac{4+2}{2}}\\\\\mathsf{4+2=6}\\\\\mathsf{2=2}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{6}{2}=3}\\\\\\\mathsf{y=3}$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$\boxed{\boxed{\text{Thus,\ your\ answer\ is:\boxed{(\dfrac{1}{2\ },\ 3)}}}}\checkmark$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider solving the equation for x.

Anna [14]

So let's simplify the equation first.

9x + 12 - 5 = ax + b
9x + 7 = ax + b
9x - ax - b = 7

Alright now plug in the numbers for each option.
I don't feel like doing all of them but I did A (one solution) and B (no solution because the two 9x's cancel out).

Cougar Park is shaped like a parallelogram and has an area of 1/10 square mile. It’s base is 3/8 mile. What is its height?

VikaD [51]

To find the missing dimension (the height) you can use the formula A=bh and substitute and let you know. 1/10=3/8h. To find the missing factor (h) you will divide both sides by 3/8. 1/10 divided by 3/8 is the same as 1/10 x 8/3. The answer is 4/15 mile. You show this has h=4/15 mi.
