The midpoint of a line divides the line into equal segments.

The option that proves PQ = LO is (a)

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{L = (0,0)}

\mathbf{M = (3,0)}

\mathbf{N = (3,7)}

\mathbf{O = (0,7)}

P is the midpoint of LM.

So, we have:

\mathbf{P = \frac{LM}{2}}

\mathbf{P = (\frac{(0 +3}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})}

\mathbf{P = (\frac{3}{2},0)}

Q is the midpoint of NO.

So, we have:

\mathbf{Q = \frac{NO}{2}}

\mathbf{Q = (\frac{(3 +0}{2},\frac{7+7}{2})}

\mathbf{Q = (\frac{3}{2},7)}

Distance PQ is calculated as follows:

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}

This gives:

\mathbf{PQ = \sqrt{(3/2 - 3/2)^2 + (0 - 7)^2}}

\mathbf{PQ = \sqrt{ 7^2}}

\mathbf{PQ = 7}

Distance LO is calculated as follows:

\mathbf{LO = \sqrt{(0 - 0)^2 + (0 - 7)^2}}

\mathbf{LO = \sqrt{ 7^2}}

\mathbf{LO=7}

So, we have:

\mathbf{PQ = 7}

\mathbf{LO=7}

Thus:

\mathbf{PQ = LO}

Hence, the correct option is (a)

9n+21−3n−24 simplify
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Alright First you combine the like terms. 
9n - 3n = 6n 
21 - 24 = -3 

Rewrite the simplified equation
6n - 3 = 0

Solve for n 
6n = 3 
n = 3/6 
n = 1/2 

Ask if you need more help! :)

Which equation is part of solving the system by substitution? 4(y + 11)2 – 3y2 = 8 4(11 – y)2 – 3y2 = 8 4(y – 11)2 – 3y2 = 8 4(–
swat32

Answer:

4(11-y)^{2} -3y^{2}=8

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x+y=11 ----> equation A

4x^{2} -3y^{2}=8 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

step 1

isolate the variable x in the equation A

x=11-y ----> equation A1

step 2

Substitute the equation A1 in the equation B

4(11-y)^{2} -3y^{2}=8

Solve for y
