Answer:
the answer should be Annie
You applied the rule improperly. When dividing exponents, you subtract the exponent of the denominator <em>from</em> the exponent of the numerator, not the other way around. The exponent you should have gotten was 
Answer:
(5, 7 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 points (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]
here (x₁, y₁ ) = U(8, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = V(2, 5), thus
midpoint = [0.5(8 + 2), 0.5(9 + 5) ] = [0.5(10), 0.5(14) ] = (5, 7 )
Answer:
comparing both equation we get,
2X+1=X+9
or, X=8
Y=X+9
or, Y=17
therefore the required solution is (8,17)
