If you divide by 8, you can put the equation into intercept form. That form is ...
... x/a + y/b = 1
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively.
Here, your equation would be
... x/(-2) + y/(-4) = 0
The graph with those intercepts is not shown with your problem statement here. See the attachment for the graph.
Answer:
L (1, - 7 )
Step-by-step explanation:
give endpoints (x₁, y₁ ( and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
( ,
)
here (x₁, y₁ ) = K (9, - 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = L (x, y )
use the midpoint formula and equate to corresponding coordinates of M
= 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
9 + x = 10 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = 1
and
= - 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
- 7 + y = - 14 ( add 7 to both sides )
y = - 7
Then L = (1, - 7 )
