Given:
M(4,2) is the midpoint of AB and A(-5, -3).
To find:
The coordinates of B.
Solution:
Let the coordinates of point B are (a,b).
Midpoint formula:

M(4,2) is the midpoint of AB and A(-5, -3).


On comparing both sides, we get




And,




Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (13,7).
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for each choice until you get the answer 1/5.
A.
2 - 4/5
10/5 - 4/5 = 6/5; this is not 1/5
B
8 - 8/5
40/5 - 8/5 = 32/5; this is not 1/5
C
3 - 16/5
15/5 - 16/5 = -1/5
5 - 26/5
25/5 - 26/5 = -1/5
7 - 36/5
35/5 - 36/5 = -1/5; although this is negative, it still has the same proportionality of 1/5
It is true because a rational function is defined as those functions where the variable is placed in the denominator, which must be restricted, because all denominators cannot be equal to zero, other wise it would be undetermined
After subtracting 3 from 7, and dividing 4 by 2, you should end up with x=2.
