Question

PLEASE HELP i need the answers and work for number 11 & 12

Answer 1

Explanation:

#11 (first photo): M = (0, 1)

basically, if you just count the units out (like i went from (-3,9) to (0,9) so i went 3 units to the right) and then do the same for the other point (making sure the number of units is equal so you would want to move 3 left) and then draw a line, you can then connect the other 2 points to create 2 triangles and where they intersect is the midpoint.

so in the picture, the bold green line is the original line, the purple line is the line created when you move units for both points, and the blue lines are the lines created when you fill in the blanks to make the triangles

#12 (picture 2): M = (-4, 1)

and the process is the exact same just change it for the points used

Answer 2

We can use the following identity:

(Xm, Ym) = X1+X2/2, Y1+Y2/2, where Xm and Ym are the midpoints of X and Y.

So, let's use it.

For question 11, X1 is -3, Y1 is 9, X2 is 3, and Y2 is -7.

Plugging in the points, we get:

-3 + 3 = 0 / 2 = 0 for x, and 9 + (-7) = 2 / 2 = 1 for y. Thus the midpoint is (0,1).

For question 12, X1 is -9, Y1 is -4, X2 is 1, and Y2 is 6. Plugging in the values we get:

-9 + 1 = -8 / 2 = -4 for x, and -4 + 6 = 2 / 2 = 1 for y. So the midpoint is (-4,1)
