Help me plz 20 points to who ever gets it right

Step-by-step explanation:

2., 3., 4., 5.

yes, you had the right idea to calculate the half distances between the coordinates. just create the absolute values of the full distance before cutting it in half.

you need to remember : we have to go this half distance from one point to the other (meaning adding our subtracting the half distance to/from the starting point).

2.

(-4, 6) to (10, -10)

in x the distance is 10 - -4 = 14. half is 7.

in y the distance is |-10 - 6| = |-16| = 16. half is 8.

so the midpoint is

(-4 + 7, 6 - 8) = (3, -2)

remember, to go the half distance in the direction towards the second point (so we have to choose properly, when to use "+" and "-" depending on the change of the coordinate : from -4 to 10 we have to add, from 6 to -10 we have to subtract, of course).

3.

(-3, -8) to (-6.5, -4.5)

in x distance : -3 - -6.5 = 3.5. half is 1.75

in y distance : -8 - -4.5 = |-3.5| = 3.5. half is 1.75

midpoint is

(-3 - 1.75, -8 + 1.75) = (-4.75, -6.25)

4.

(3, 7) to (-8, -10)

x : 3 - -8 = 11. half is 5.5

y : 7 - -10 = 17. half is 8.5

midpoint is

(3 - 5.5, 7 - 8.5) = (-2.5, -1.5)

5.

(-6, -13) to (-6.4, -3.8)

x : -6 - -6.4 = 0.4. half is 0.2

y : -13 - -3.8 = |-9.2| = 9.2. half is 4.6

midpoint is

(-6 - 0.2, -13 + 4.6) = (-6.2, -8.4)

6.

(-1, 7) to (5, 1)

x : -1 - 5 = |-6| = 6. 1/3 is 2.

y : 7 - 1 = 6. 1/3 is 2.

1/3 from C to D

(-1 + 2, 7 - 2) = (1, 5)

7.

2/3 of the way from D to C is the same point as in 6. (1/3 from C to D).

again

(1, 5)

8.

2/3 of the way from C to D.

so, we need to double what we added in 6.

(-1 + 4, 7 - 4) = (3, 3)

9.

1/3 of the way from D to C is the same point as in 8. (2/3 of the way from C to D).

again

(3, 3)

10.

exactly. Pythagoras.

the square root of the sum of the squares of the coordinate differences.

distance = sqrt((x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²)

11.

(6, 8) to (-1, 8)

distance = sqrt((6 - -1)² + (8 - 8)²) = sqrt(49) = 7

12.

(5, -6) to (5, 6)

sqrt((5-5)² + (-6-6)²) = sqrt(144) = 12

13.

(-2, 0) to (11, 0)

sqrt((-2 - 11)² + (0-0)²) = sqrt(169) = 13

14.

(1, -5) to (9, 1)

sqrt((1-9)² + (-5 - 1)²) = sqrt(64 + 36) = sqrt(100) = 10

15.

ST and MT are basically the same equation.

MT is half of ST.

ST equation based on 2 points :

y – yS={(yT – yS)/(xT – xS)}(x – xS)

M = (xS + (xT - xS)/2, yS +(yT - yS)/2)

so, let's put that into the general equation :

y - yM={(yT - yM)/(xT - xM)}(x - xM)

y - (yS +(yT - yS)/2) = {(yT - (yS +(yT - yS)/2))/(xT - (xS + (xT - xS)/2))}(x - (xS + (xT - xS)/2))

16.

the two corners farthest away are (5, 10) and (9, 6).

what distance from (0, 0) is now bigger ?

since it is (0, 0), we can skip the 0s and just sum up the squares of the coordinates.

5² + 10² = 125

9² + 6² = 117

so, the corner (5, 10) is the farthest away.

answer:   (s+1)(s+4)

step-by-step explanation:

factor s2+5s+4

s2+5s+4

=(s+1)(s+4)
