Answer 2

wht steps do u think we need to do first

Answer 3

I have no clue tbh I am in a time rush...

@jigglypuff314
I'm really bad at math and don't want to be misguiding, so Jig's can you help out at all?
Thanks in advance!! <3

Answer 9

Thx Everyone!

Answer 10

Geometry, eh, just finished the course, let me see if I can help.

Answer 11

This is... complicated - I haven't done geometry in years, so forgive me if I get something wrong


your first step should be to find point C
that would be the midpoint of AB
given A is (-3,2) and B is (7,6)
do you know how to find the midpoint? :)

Answer 12

And that would be the x-intercept of CD is?

Answer 13

We first have to find where C is in order to find the x-intercept of a line containing C

Answer 14

ooh

Answer 15

Do you know how to find the midpoint between the points
(-3, 2) and (7, 6) ?

Answer 16

im in a time crunch tbh ...

Answer 17

simplify
\[(\frac{ 6-2 }{ 2 },\frac{ 7+3 }{ 2 })\]

Answer 18

what do you get?

Answer 19

y=x^2 -7x+10

Answer 20

the x-intercept of is . Point lies on .

Answer 21

you follow my steps, we get you to your answer

Answer 22

3,0?

Answer 23

try again
simplify
\[(\frac{ 6-2 }{ 2 },\frac{ 7+3 }{ 2 })\]

Answer 24

9,0

Answer 25

let's take this slower then.
what is 6 - 2 = ?

Answer 26

4

Answer 27

good now divide that by 2

Answer 28

2

Answer 29

perfect
now what is 7 + 3 = ?

Answer 30

10

Answer 31

good!
now divide that by 2

Answer 32

Answer 33

great!
so now we have point C is located at (2, 5)

then we try to find the equation of a line given the point (2,5) and a slope of -5/2

Answer 34

thats not one of my chooses.

Answer 35

I know
if we find the equation of that line, then plug in 0 for y and solve for x
that gets us our answer

so we must find the equation of the line

Answer 36

o

Answer 37

5 = (-5/2)(2) + b

can you tell me what b is?

Answer 38

10

Answer 39

perfect

so we have
y = (-5/2)x + 10

x-intercept is when y=0
so
0 = (-5/2)x + 10

solve for x and that's your answer

Answer 41

tah dahhh

Answer 42

so what do I do next? because thats not one of my answer chooses

Answer 43

really?
what are your answer choices?
