A number that is increased by 50% and then decreased by 50% is called sequential percentage calculation or successive percentage calculation.

50 percent minus 50 percent is 0 percent, but you cannot simply take 0 percent of a number to get the correct answer when you want to increase a number by 50 percent and then decrease the result by 50 percent.

If q is the midpoint of segment PR, find the coordinates of R if P (11,-2) and Q (4,3)

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

R(-3, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

R = 2Q -P

R = 2(4, 3) -(11, -2) = (8-11, 6+2)

R = (-3, 8)

_____

You can derive the formula for the endpoint from the formula for the midpoint:

Q = (R + P)/2
