Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First of all, don't worry so much about struggling with something difficult! It's part of the human experience. Our minds are wired to be challenged but then when we push through and have faith in ourselves that's how we grow and improve!

What we are dealing with here are lines. We are being given the coordinates for one endpoint of a line and a midpoint and we want to find the other endpoint.

Let's just go one-dimensional first to make this easier to understand. Imagine that you have a number line. You draw a line going from 1 to 7. So, 1 and 7 are the two endpoints. Your midpoint is going to be halfway between those two. To find the middle of anything, you just add the two numbers and divide them by two.

1+7=8

8/2=4

So, 4 is our midpoint in this situation.

So, what if we just had our endpoint 1 and our midpoint 4? Well, we see that we go forward three spaces to get to 4. Now we are halfway! Then, we just do another three to make it to our finish line, which is 7. Or, we just take that distance and multiply it by two! This is related to our divide by two rule but just backward!

So, let's look at these problems.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.

We have the coordinates of our line here. Our endpoint is (1,-9) and our midpoint is (4,-1). Remember what we did with our number line? We are basically going to do it with our x and y values.

So, to go from our endpoint 1 to 4 we go three spaces. If we go another 3 spaces, it will be 7. So, our x-value is 7.

With our y-values, we go from -9 to -1, so we climb 8 spaces. If we add another 8 spaces we will end up at 7, so our y-value is 7 again!

So, our other endpoint is (7,7)!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B.

To go from -2 to 9 is adding 11, so we add another 11 to 9 to give us an x-value of 20.

Going from 19 to 2 is subtracting 17, so we need to subtract another 17, which gives us a y-value of -15.

So, our endpoint is going to be (20, -15).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

ASAP! Question 3: The following data give the weights (in pounds) lost by 15 members of a health club at the end of 2 months aft
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

First arrange the data in an order

3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 10, 10, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 21

a.) Q1 = (N + 1)/4th item = (15 + 1)/4 = 4th item = 7

Q2 = 2(16)/4 = 16/2 = 8th item = 12

Q3 = 3(16)/4 = 3(4) = 12th item = 17

IQR = (Q3 - Q1)/2 = (17 - 7)/2 = 10/2 = 5

b.) 82nd percentile = 82(16)/100 = 13th item = 17

c.) 12 is the 8th item which is in the middle of the data set, so the percentile rank is 50%

Which of the following shows the length of the third side, in inches, of the triangle below? (1 point)
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

2, sqrt of 7633

Step-by-step explanation:

for now, we'll leave the 3rd side as x

y using the Pythagorean theorem, we can conclude that (1) 48^2+x^2=73^2 or (2) 48^2+73^2=x^2.

1. If we conclude the x isn't the longest, the x would be 3025 which is the sqrt of 55, now is invalid because the 2 smallest sides can't be more than the longest side when they add up 55+48>73 so that is invalid

2. Then, it leaves us with only 1 choice left! concluding that the 3rd side is the longest. Which the answer is sqrt of 7633
