Can someone please help me? I don't understand how to solve this.

Answer:

  (5, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you how to solve it. You are expected to know what the midpoint formula is.

You are given that (x, y) is the unknown end point. If (Mx, My) is the midpoint, and (x1, y1) is one end point, the midpoint formula tells you ...

  Mx = (x1 +x)/2

  My = (y1 +y)/2

__

Solving these equations for x and y, you get ...

  2Mx = x1 +x

  x = 2Mx -x1

Similarly, ...

  2My = y1 +y

  y = 2My -y1

__

Filling in the given coordinates, this becomes ...

  x = 2(-2) -(-9) = -4 +9 = 5

  y = 2(7) -(-1) = 14 +1 = 15

The other endpoint is (5, 15).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

I like to write the midpoint formula for points A and B as ...

  M = (A +B)/2

where A and B each represent an ordered pair (or triple, in 3 dimensions). The arithmetic is done element-by-element on the ordered pairs, so this formula is equivalent to the one above.

If you solve it for B, you get ...

  B = 2M - A . . . . the other endpoint given the midpoint and one endpoint

This might be a formula you want to add to your list of useful formulas in Algebra.

The polynomial 8x2 – 8x + 2 – 5 + x is simplified to 8x2 – gx – h. What are the value of g and h?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Option D: g = 7 and h = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial is;

8x² – 8x + 2 – 5 + x

Simplifying this gives;

8x² - 7x - 3

If this is simplified to 8x² – gx – h

Thus, by comparison of terms;

– gx = - 7x

-x will cancel out to get;

g = 7

Similarly, - h = - 3

Thus,h = 3

Therefore; g = 7 and h = 3

Type the correct answer in the box. x y 3 10 20 In the table, the relation (x, y) is not a function if the missing value of x is
yan [13]

The relation is <em>not a function</em> if any x-value is repeated.

Assuming you have

(x, y) = (3, 10), (__, 20)

if x = 3, the relation is not a function.
