In the figure, M and N are midpoints of RT and ST. What is the length of MN

b - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given M and N are midpoints, let's find the coordinates of the midpoints first. Then we can use that information to find the length

The midpoint formula is

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

So M = ( (2a + 2c)/2, (0 + 2d)/2 ) = (a + c, d)

And N = ( (2c + 2b)/2, (2d + 0)/2 ) = (c + b, d)

Because the y-coordinates are the same (d), the distance from M to N is,

final x-coordinate minus initial x-coordinate

x-coordinate of N minus x-coordinate of M

(c + b) - (a + c)

Distribute the negative and remove the parentheses

c + b - a - c

Group the cs together

c - c + b - a

Cancel out the cs

b - a

(0,,,0)

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic
