Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂), the midpoint of the segment will be:
( (x₁+x₂) / 2 , (y₁+y₂)/2 ).
In this case:
J(-3,18)
T(7,-10)

The midpoint will be:
( (-3+7)/2 , (18-10)/2 )=(4/2 , 8/2)=(2, 4).

Answer: the midpoint of segment JT is (2,4)

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through the origin and is parallel to a line with a slope of 2. include all o

Vaselesa [24]

<span>Point slope form is (y - y1) = m(x - x1), where m is a slope of 2, and x1 = 0 and y1 = 0 are our point at the origin. Therefore, we can plug in these values to get the point slope equation for our line: (y â€“ 0) = 2*(x - 0)</span>

a boat takes 8 hours to go 6 miles upstream and come back to the starting point. if the speed of the boat is 4 miles per hour in

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:
$\frac{6}{4+V} + \frac{6}{4-V} =8; \ =\ \textgreater \ \ \frac{V^2-10}{16-V^2}=0; \ =\ \textgreater \ \ V=\sqrt{10} \ \frac{miles}{hour}$

answer: √10

P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.
