Answer:
y=x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Gradient=1
Rise/run=1/1=1
y=x+c
y intercept=-1
y=x-1
Which one?
Go to www.mathpapa.com and put this in "<span>y = <span><span>−<span>2x </span></span>− 4</span></span>; <span>y = <span><span>2x </span>− <span>4" That is 1st
</span></span></span>For 2nd put this in "y = 1/2x + -11/2; y = -2x + 2"
<span>Answer:
Its too long to write here, so I will just state what I did.
I let P=(2ap,ap^2) and Q=(2aq,aq^2)
But x-coordinates of P and Q differ by (2a)
So P=(2ap,ap^2) BUT Q=(2ap - 2a, aq^2)
So Q=(2a(p-1), aq^2)
which means, 2aq = 2a(p-1)
therefore, q=p-1
then I subbed that value of q in aq^2
so Q=(2a(p-1), a(p-1)^2)
and P=(2ap,ap^2)
Using these two values, I found the midpoint which was:
M=( a(2p-1), [a(2p^2 - 2p + 1)]/2 )
then x = a(2p-1)
rearranging to make p the subject
p= (x+a)/2a</span>
