What is this . My algebra teacher is terible
2 answers:
The answer is D. ( -0.5, -1 )
The midpoint of the vertices is talking about the point that would be exactly between the two vertices shown, (3,2) and (-4,-4)
A way to look at this is think of drawing a straight line from point to point and the middle of the lone would be the midpoint. Just using this method, the obvious answer is D. (-0.5,-1), but let's do the math.
I attached the midpoint formula to see what I'm doing. Let's go ahead and plug in our variables:
x = (3 + -4/ 2) = (-1 / 2) = -0.5
y = (2 + -4/ 2) = (-2 / 2) = -1
So our midpoint is ( -0.5 , -1 )
Thank you for the question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day!! :D

For this case we have the following data:
The original dimensions of the drawing are:
- Width: 3cm
- Height: 5cm
If the copier zoom is at 120%, we can find the new dimensions of the drawing by making a rule of three:
Width:
3 ----------> 100%
x ----------> 120%
Where x represents the new width of the drawing:
Long:
5 ----------> 100%
y ----------> 120%
Where y represents the new long of the drawing:
Thus, the new dimensions are 3.6 cm wide and 6 cm long
Answer:
the longer dimension of the new drawing is 6cm
