Answer:

d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

So, the distance between point (2,0) and a point (x,y)

d = √[(x - 2)² + (y - 0)²]

d = √[(x - 2)² + (y)²]

But the point (x,y) is on the line y = 3x - 1

We can substitute for y in the distance between points equation.

d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]

What is the midpoint of AB with A(-1, 5) and B(6, -3) A (-4, 3.5) B (1, 2.5) C (2.5, 1) D (3.5, -4)
Alina [70]

Answer:

Option C (2.5, 1) is the right alternative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are:

A = (-1, 5) = (x₁, y₁)

B = (6, -3) = (x₂, y₂)

Now,

The midpoint on X-axis is:

= \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

= \frac{-1+6}{2}

= \frac{5}{2}

= 2.5

The midpoint on Y-axis is:

= \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

= \frac{5+(-3)}{2}

= \frac{5-3}{2}

= \frac{2}{2}

= 1

Thus the midpoint of AB is "2.5, 1".

Your city is having a sneaker convention! A pair of Ground Morgans is 20% less expensive than a pair of Elite Butterflies, Elite
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Ground Morgans are 52% the price of Floating Jumps.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of Ground Morgans GM is 20% less expensive than a pair of Elite Butterflies EB, this means

GM= 0.8 EB <em>(GM is 80% the price of EB's)</em>

Elite Butterflies EB are 30% more expensive than Cloud Trainers CT's, this means

EB =1.3 CT <em>(EM's is 130% the price of CT's)</em>

Cloud Trainers CT are 50% less expensive than Floating Jumps FJ, this means

CT=0.5FJ <em>(CT is 50% the price of FJ)</em>

Now, if we want the price of Ground Morgans in terms of Floating Jumps, then, since EB = 1.3 CT,

GM=0.8 (1.3CT)

and since CT = 0.5F, we have

GM = 0.8(1.3(0.5FJ)).

Simplifying we get

\boxed{GM =0.52FJ}

Ground Morgans are 52% the price of Floating Jumps.
