The x-value of a midpoint is the average of the x-values of the ends.
The y-value of a midpoint is the average of the y-values of the ends.
The x-value of the end at b is 20 and it's 18 at the middle.
x has decreased by 2 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 2 during the other half of the line.
The x-value at the other end, at a, then, is 16.
The y-value of the end at b is 4 and it's -2 at the middle.
y has decreased by 6 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 6 during the other half of the line.
The y-value at the other end, at a, then, is -8.
The other end of the line, at a, is at (16, -8) .
The sum of the coordinates at a (p+q) is 8 .
5x- 10 = 20
5x -10 +10 = 20 +10
5x = 30
5x/5 =30/5
x = 6
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Ur answer is #1 = A number line from negative 10 to 10 is shown with numbers labeled at intervals of 2. An arrow is shown from point 0 to negative 2. Another arrow points from negative 2 to 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The arrow from 0 to -2 represents the initial "-2" of the problem. <em>Adding </em>-10 would put an arrow of length 10 from that point to the left to -12. However, you are <em>subtracting </em>-10, so that arrow is reversed and goes from -2 to +8.
