Answer:

x = 1/2 y = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know an equation for y, we just need to plug it into the other equation.

21x - 7(-5x) = 28

21x + 35x = 28

56x = 28

x = 1/2

Now that we know x, we substitute it into the other equation, to find y.

y = -5x

y = -5(1/2)

= -5/2

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the segment, given its midpoint and one endpoint. (Hint: Let (x,y) be the unkno

makkiz [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

Here, one point is A(10,8) and P(8,5) is the midpoint.

Let B(x,y) be the another end point.

Now,

Using midpoint formulae,

$p(x.y) = \frac{x1 + x2}{2} . \frac{y1 + y2}{2}$

$p(8.5) = ( \frac{10 + x}{2} . \frac{8 + y}{2} )$

Since they are equal,equating with their corresponding elements we get,

$8 = \frac{10 + x}{2}$

or, 16 = 10 + x

or, x=16-10

Therefore, x = 6

Now,

$5 = \frac{8 + y}{2}$

or, 10 = 8 + y

or, y = 2

Therefore, The coordinates of another point are B(6,2)
