The midpoint m of gh has coordinates ( -5, -4) point h has coordinates (-4, -7) find the coordinates of point g
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint formula is
and we have the coordinates of the midpoint and the coordinates of one endpoint. Filling that in we have:
and we will solve for the missing values one at a time. x first:
and
-10 = -4 + x₂ so
-6 = x₂ and do the same for y:
and
-8 = -7 + y₂ so
-1 = y₂
Thus, the coordinates of point g are (-6, -1)

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.
Use the last equation to write an expression for z.
z = 4 -x +4y
Substitute this into the second equation:
y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13
y -16 +4x -16y = -13
4x -15y -3 = 0
In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...
3x +y +10 = 0
Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...
x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"
y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation
z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z
The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

Answer:
1) B = 66.5° c = 10.9
Step-by-step explanation:
I will do question one as an example. In general, for these questions you want to use the appropriate trigonometric ratios to solve for the variables and/or apply logic using rules regarding triangles. See attached image for all solving steps.
For side c, we can use Cosine of angle A for a ratio between 10 and c. When we write out the equation, we can solve for side c. So when we write it out, we get the equation:
cos23.5 = ¹⁰⁄c
c = ¹⁰⁄cos₂₃.₅
c = 10.9044 (make sure to round to the nearest tenth, which is one decimal place)
For angle B, since they have given two angles, you can solve for B since all angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
So b = 180 - (90 + 23.5) = 180 - 113.5
b = 66.5
- It is also possible to solve this using sine of angle B and solve it from there, but applying the theory this way is much simpler. (this is on the image if you're curious about it)
I hope this helps you with the other 3 questions.
