Answer:

The coordinates of B are (10,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We know that BC has a midpoint M, with the coordinates (6,6), and the endpoint C, with coordinates (2, 10)

We want to find the coordinates of point B

The midpoint formula is (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2}), where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2 , y_2) are points. In this case, the point C has the values of (x_1, y_1), and B has the values of (x_2 , y_2)

We know that coordinates of M equal (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2})

In other words,

\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} = 6\\ \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2}=6

Let's plug 2 for x_1 and 10 for y_1

So:

\frac{2 + x_2}{2} = 6\\ \frac{10+ y_2}{2}=6

Multiply both sides by 2

{2 + x_2} = 12\\{10+ y_2} =12

Subtract 2 from both sides in the first equation to find the value of x_2:

x_2=10

Now, for the second equation, subtract 10 from both sides to find the value of y_2

y_2=2

Now substitute these values for (x_2, y_2)

(x_2, y_2)=(10,2)

So the coordinates of point B are (10, 2)

Hope this helps!

A-plus Auto Body is painting designs on a customers car. They had 18pints of blue paint on hand. They used 1/2 of it for the fla
Mashutka [201]
1/2 of 18 pints is 9 because 18/2=9

They have 9 pints left.

1/3 of 18 pints is 6 because 1/3*18=6

9-6=3

There are 3 pints left.

They need 7.75 pints and they only have 3 so 7.75-3=4.75 (or 4 3/4)

They need 4 3/4 more pints of blue paint
