Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given rectangle has diagonals have the endpoints P(-3, -2) ,I(4, -7) and A(4, -2) ,D(-3, -7)
The diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other so we use the midpoint formula to find their point of intersection.
The midpoint formula is;
We use any pair of endpoints of the diagonals to find the point of intersection.
Using A(4, -2) ,D(-3, -7)
or
Answer:
2y = x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the graph, we can see from one point to the next (from right to left), the x-value rises by 2 and the y-value by 1;
From this we can work out the gradient between two points using the formula, i.e. the change/difference in y divided by the change/difference in x:
Joining the points gives a straight line, which means a constant gradient of ¹/₂
Use the line equation formula to get the function:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
m = ¹/₂
x₁ = 0
y₁ = 1
y - 1 = ¹/₂.(x - 0)
y - 1 = ¹/₂.x
2y - 2 = x
2y = x + 2
