The poverty level cutoff in 1987 to the nearest dollar  was $10787.

<h3>How to find a midpoint?</h3>

The midpoint as the point that divides the line segment exactly in half having two equal segments. Therefore, the midpoint presents the same distance between the endpoints for the line segment. The midpoint formula is: \mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right).

For solving this exercise, first you need plot the points in a chart. See the image.

Your question asks to approximate the poverty level cutoff in 1987 to the nearest dollar using the midpoint formula. Note that the year 1987 is between 1980 and 1990, thus you should apply the midpoint formula from data for this year (1987).

\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(1980,8429),\:\left(1990,13145):\quad \left(\frac{1990+1980}{2},\:\:\frac{13145+8429}{2}\right)\\\\ \\

\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(1980,8429)\:=\left(\frac{1990+1987}{2},\:\frac{13145+3843}{2}\right)\\ \\ =\left(\frac{3977}{2},\:\frac{21574}{2}\right)

\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(1980,8429)\:=\=(\frac{3977}{2},10787)

The answer for your question will be the value that you calculated for the y-coordinate. Then, the poverty level cutoff in 1987 to the nearest dollar  was $10787.

Lisa wrote the expression (3x + 6x) - 2(x + 1) + 5. She simplified the expression using the following steps:
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step 1. Should be 3(x +2x) -2(x +1) +5 . . .

or . . . 3x(1 +2) -2(x +1) +5 . . .

or . . . 9x -2(x+1) +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa apparently failed to realize that both terms inside the first set of parentheses have 3x as a factor. They are like terms, so could be combined directly. If Lisa really wants to factor out 3 or 3x, she could do so and then combine the remaining factors at another step.

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees
andre [41]
Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees.

Answer: Out of all the options shown above the one that represents the counterexample that proves that the conjecture presented above is false is answer choice 2. Angle b is 90 degrees. The reason being that in a right angle there is only one angle that measures 90 degrees.

I hope it helps, Regards.
