Answer is (-1.5,5)
Midpoint formula is M= ((X1+X2)/2), ((Y1+Y2)/2)
So it becomes ((-4+1)/2), ((9+1)/2)= (-1.5,5)
80 * 5/8 will give you how many are thoroughbreds.
80 * 5/8 = 50
Now subtract this from all of the horses.
80 - 50 = 30.
There are 30 quarter horses.
OR If 5/8 of the horses are thoroughbreds, then 3/8 are quarter horses.
80 * 3/8 = 30.
Answer:
y=-5/2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1
-1-19/2-(-4)
simplify
-20/8
simplify
-5/2
use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b
since we know the slope, find b
plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation
-1=(-5/2)(2)+b
simplify
-1= -10/2+b
simplify
-1=-5+b
add 5 to both sides
b=4
plug b into y=-5/2x+b
y=-5/2x+4
