Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf (-1, -\frac{5}{2} )  \ or \ (-1, -2.5) }}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the midpoint of a line segment. The midpoint bisects the line segment, or divides it into 2 equal parts. We find the midpoint by finding the average of the x-coordinates, then the y-coordinates.

( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

The endpoints are (-9, 3) and (7, -8). Match the value and the corresponding variable.

  • x₁= -9
  • y₁ = 3
  • x₂ = 7
  • y₂ = -8

Substitute the values into the formula.

(\frac {-9+7}{2},  \frac{3 + -8}{2})

Solve the numerators.

  • -9+7 = -2
  • 3+ -8 = -5

( \frac{-2}{2}, \frac {-5}{2} )

Divide.

(-1, - \frac{5}{2} )

The fraction can be written as a decimal.

(-1,-2.5)

The midpoint of the line segment is (-1, -5/2) or (-1, -2.5)

Hurry 50 points for correct answer
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: <em>"7 is a solution to the original equation. The value –1 is an extraneous solution."</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x=\sqrt{6x+7} can be solved by squaring both sides:

x^2 = 6x + 7\\\\x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0\\\\(x-7)(x+1) = 0

We can see that -1 and 7 are solutions, but make sure they are not extraneous by substituting them in the original equation:

1 = \sqrt{-1}\\ 7 = \sqrt{49}

The square root of 49 equals 7, but the square root of -1 is an imaginary number.

The correct choice is <em>"7 is a solution to the original equation. The value –1 is an extraneous solution."</em>
