Deductive reasoning is a method of logical thought that begins with a general concept and arrives at a particular conclusion. It is often referred to as top-down thought or shifting from general to particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples:

Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. ...
All horses have manes.
Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.

P(-3,-5) and Q(1, -3) represent points in a coordinate<br> plane. Find the midpoint of PQ.

Karolina [17]

Step by step explanation :

The two points are ,

P( -3 , -5)
Q (1 , -3)

We can find the midpoint by finding the median of x coordinate and y coordinate .

$\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{-3+1}{2},\dfrac{-5-3}{2}\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg( \dfrac{-2}{2},\dfrac{-8}{2}\bigg) \\\\\sf\to\boxed{\orange{\tt Midpoint = (-1,-4)}}$
