Question

Find the equation of the line y=-7 and passing through the midpoint of the segment joining (-7, 7) and (-4, 4).

Answer 1

I'm getting y=-x but webassign says I'm wrong...

Answer 2

ur question is not clear! what is "find the equation of the line y=-7..."..y=-7 is itself a line equation..

Answer 3

I know that but this a question from my online math...

Answer 4

can u gimme a link?

Answer 5

I don't think so because I have to log into an account

Answer 6

Find the equation of the line parallel to the line y = -7 and passing through the midpoint of the segment joining (-7, 7) and (-4, 4).
I can copy and paste it.

Answer 7

LOL, I see what I did, I left a few words out, sorry!

Answer 8

A line parallel to y=-7 is y=c where c is a constant to be determined.
NOw midpoint of (-7,7) and (-4,4) is (-11/2,11,2). Now y=c passes through this point. So c=11/2. and answer is y=11/2

Answer 9

Okay, thanks so much! Can you show me how it's worked out?
I want to make sure I understand.

Answer 10

Ohh okay. NOW your question makes sense but it was already answered : p
