The formula for the midpoint:
(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})
x₁, y₁ - the coordinates of one endpoint
x₂, y₂ - the coordinates of the other endpoint

(1,2) \\
x_1=1 \\ y_1=2 \\ \\
(-3,6) \\ x_2=-3 \\ y_2=6 \\ \\
\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{1-3}{2}=\frac{-2}{2}=-1 \\ \\
\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{2+6}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4 \\ \\
\boxed{(-1,4)} - \hbox{the midpoint} \Leftarrow \hbox{the answer is C}

What is the equation of the line that passes through (2, -7) and (-1, 2)?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

First, we find the slope of the line using the two given points.

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - (-7))/(-1 - 2) = (2 + 7)/(-3) = 9/(-3) = -3

Now we plug in the slope we found into the equation above.

y = -3x + b

We need to find the value of b, the y-intercept. We use the coordinates of one of the given points for x and y, and we solve for b. Let's use point (2, -7), so x = 2, and y = -7.

y = -3x + b

-7 = -3(2) + b

-7 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides.

-1 = b

Now we plug in -1 for b.

y = -3x - 1

Answer:

|x - 5| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given a zero on the number line, we do the following:

Average = midpoint between two numbers on the number line

For this number line,

Average = 3 + 7 ÷ 2

Average = 5

Next we find how many units away are each number from the middle:

3 is 2 units away from 5

7 is 2 units away from 5

Units away = 2

Let's use the formula:

|x - average| = Units away

Substitute values into equation

|x - 5| = 2

Now we solve

Solve for x over the integers:

|x - 5| = 2

Split the equation into two possible equations:

x - 5 = 2 or x - 5 = -2

Add 5 to both sides:

x = -5 + 5 = 2 + 5 or x - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5

Answer:

x = 7 or x = 3
