What's the midpoint of a line segment joining the points (5, –4) and (–13, 12)?
Question 8 options:

A)

(–4, 4)

B)

(9, 4)

C)

(–4, 8)

D)

(4, 4)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint of the line segment is located at (-4, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given the coordinate points of a line that can help us find the midpoint.

The midpoint formula for a line is written as:

[tex]\bullet \ \ \ \displaystyle\big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\big)[/tex]

Additionally, we are given the coordinate points (5, -4) and (-13, 12). We can use these and label them with the (x, y) system so we can substitute them into the formula.

In math, a coordinate pair is written as (x, y). This is where cos = x and sin = y. If we are given two coordinate pairs, we can label them with the (x, y) system but also incorporating a subscript to distinguish the two x-values from each other as well as the y-values. We do this by turning the two x-values into x₁ and x₂ and the y-values follow the same protocol: y₁ and y₂.

Therefore, we can label our two coordinates:

(5, -4)

x₁ = 5y₁ = -4

(-13, 12)

x₂ = -13y₂ = 12

Now, we can place these values into the midpoint formula and simplify to find our midpoint.

Recall that the midpoint formula is:

[tex]\bullet \ \ \ \displaystyle\big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\big)[/tex]

Therefore, let's substitute these values.

[tex]\displaystyle\big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\big)\\\\\\\big(\frac{5 + (-13)}{2}, \frac{(-4)+12}{2}\big)\\\\\\\big(\frac{-8}{2}, \frac{8}{2}\big)\\\\\\\boxed{(-4, 4)}[/tex]

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment is located at (-4, 4), which is Option A.

Answer 2

Answer: Great question! A midpoint is exactly what it sounds like; the point in the middle of two objects (in this case it's the middle of these two coordinates). Another way to think of the middle of something in math is by using the average. To find the midpoint of two points, we just find the average of the x-values and the average of the y-values:

(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2)

(5 + -13) / 2 , (-4 + 12) / 2)

( -8 / 2 , 8 / 2)

(-4 , 4)

So the answer would be A)

(-4, 4)

Explanation:

let ( x,y) be the midpoint of the line segment, then x =  5+(-13) / 2 = -8/2 = -4 and y = -4+(12 ) / 2 = 8/2 = 4, the mid point is ( -4,4)

Two mathematicians were both born in the last 500 years. Each lives (or will live) to be 100 years old, then dies. Each mathematician is equally likely to be born at any point during those 500 years. What is the probability that they were contemporaries for any length of time

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "0.36".

Step-by-step explanation:

we assume, that they are not blood-relatives, then we need both the dates (birth and death)

Births between 1512 and 2012 may occur at any time, and all of the math forms are what we have to be born at least 100 years apart.

Pr(Mathematician 1 is born inside an interval of 1512-2012 on a particular year)= [tex]\frac{1}{50000}[/tex])

Mathematician 2 born in 1512-2012 interval on every specific year) = [tex]\frac{1}{50000}[/tex]

S Year of birth'

After that, We need to find all of the years of absolute value (birth the year Mathematician 1-birth year of Mathematician 2) <= 100 or give the probability of this happening.

Prob(Mathematician 1 birth between 1512-2012 in a specific group of 100 years):

[tex]\to \frac{100}{500}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

For just a mathematician, are using the same rationale 2.

By using fact for freedom now Pr(that the dual births are divided by 100 years)) = 1-Pr(they are divided by more than 100 years):

[tex]\to 1- (\frac{400}{500})^2 \\\\\to 1- (\frac{4}{5})^2 \\\\\to 1- \frac{16}{25}\\\\\to \frac{25 -16}{25}\\\\\to \frac{9}{25}\\\\\to 0.36[/tex]

Addilyn received 300 of the most popular beads for her birthday.
There are 30 beads per package. How many packages did she receive?


1. a = 300 + 30

2. a = 300 x 30

3. a = 300 divided by 30

4. a = 300 - 30

Answers

The correct answer is 3: a= 300 divided by 30

Answer:

3. a=300/30

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to figure out how many packages she received, and there are 30 beads in each package. so, you divide the total amount of beads (300) by the amount in each package to determine how many packages there are. 300/30=10 packages of beads

The distance on a map from Lynchburg to Houston is 5 in. The scale on the map is 1/2 in = 100 mi. What is the actual distance?

A) 100 mi

B) 10,000 mi

C) 1000 mi

Answers

Answer:

1,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

set up the equation as

100x = d

where x equals the number of half inches between two points on the map

and d equals the distance between those points in real life

5 inches = 10 half inches so, plugged in the equation looks like

100(10) = d

simplify it to

1000 = d

and bam, the real distance is 1,000 miles

C 1/2 an inch equals 100 miles.each inch equals 200 miles. So now you take 200×5 and you get 1000 miles

A town has a population of 3000 and grows at 4% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the population will reach 4700?​

Answers

Answer:

14.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The town grows 4% (0.04) every year.

3000 x 0.04 = 120, so the town gains 120 people every year.

The town needs 1700 more people to get to 4700.

So, 4700/120= 14.1666666667

That rounds up to 14.2 years.

The cost of one apple and one banana at the school canteen is $1 and the cost of 3 apples and 2 bananas is $2.40. Find the cost of a single banana, using simultaneous equation, elimination method. Show full working out.

Answers

Answer:

I don't know

I don't know

let the apple equal to x and let the banana equal to y

Equation one is x+y= 1

Equation two is 3x+2y= 2.40

Because we are doing the elimination method, multiply all of equation one by 3


3x+3y=3
3x+2y=2.40
(subtract the equations from one another)


So now you have y=60 cents

So, one banana costs 60 cents

FIREWORKS The designers of a fireworks display want to have four fireworks travel along parallel trajectories. They decide to place two launchers on a dock and two launchers on the roof of a building. To make this display work correctly, what should the measure of angle 1 be? Explain.

Answers

Answer: 80°; the supplementary angle to the 30° angle and ∠1 is a corresponding angle to the 70° angle this means that the supplementary angle to the 30° angle and ∠1 is a 70° angle therefore 30°+m ∠1+ 70° equals 180°. So, m ∠1= 180°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of angle 1 should be 80 degrees.

What are supplementary angles?

Two angles whose sum is 180° are called supplementary angles. If a straight line is intersected by a line, then there are two angles form on each of the sides of the considered straight line. Those two two angles are two pairs of supplementary angles.

Then its meaning; supplementary angles are aligned adjacent to each other, and their exterior sides will make a straight line.

The supplementary angle to the 30° angle and ∠1 is a corresponding angle to the 70° angle which means that the supplementary angle to the 30° angle and ∠1 is a 70° angle.

Therefore 30° + m ∠1 +  70° = 180°.

100 + m ∠1= 180°.

So, m ∠1= 80°.
