Answer: The coordinates of point T are (13, -6).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point S is the midpoint of segment RT, with coordinates R(-9, 4) and S(2, -1),

we need to determine the coordinates of point T.

The midpoint formula states that the midpoint between points (a, b) and (c, d) is ((a + c)/2, (b + d)/2).

Let T be (h, k). According to the problem:

\left(\dfrac{-9+h}{2},\dfrac{4+k}{2}\right)=(2,-1)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-9+h}{2}=2\\\\\Rightarrow -9+h=4\\\\\Rightarrow h=4+9\\\\\Rightarrow h=13

\dfrac{4+k}{2}=-1\\\\\Rightarrow 4+k=-2\\\\\Rightarrow k=-2-4\\\\\Rightarrow k=-6.

Solving these equations yields T at (13, -6).

So, the required coordinates for point T are (13, -6).

Point T has the coordinates (13, -6).

Detailed explanation

Given Information:

  • Point S(2, -1) is the midpoint of segment RT.
  • Point R is located at (-9, 4).

Goal:

Determine the coordinates of endpoint T.

Method:

A midpoint coordinates represent the point exactly halfway between two endpoints on a segment.

Midpoint Formula \boxed{\boxed{ \ M = \bigg( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \bigg) \ }}

This formula calculates the midpoint's x and y by averaging the x and y of both endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).

  • The midpoint is given as M = S(2, -1).
  • Define R(x₁, y₁) = (-9, 4) and find T(x₂, y₂).

We proceed to find T’s missing coordinates.

\boxed{ \ (2, -1) = \bigg( \frac{-9 + x_2}{2}, \frac{4 + y_2}{2} \bigg) \ }

Thus, part 1 involves computing the x-coordinate of T, and part 2 the y-coordinate.

Part 1

\boxed{ \ \frac{-9 + x_2}{2} = 2 \ }

Multiply both sides by 2.

\boxed{ \ -9 + x_2 = 4 \ }

Add 9 to both sides to isolate T's x-coordinate.

\boxed{\boxed{ \ x_2 = 13 \ }}

Part 2

\boxed{ \ \frac{4 + y_2}{2} = -1 \ }

Multiply both sides by 2.

\boxed{ \ 4 + y_2 = -2 \ }

Subtract 4 from both sides to solve for T's y-coordinate.

\boxed{\boxed{ \ y_2 = -6\ }}

Hence, the coordinates of point T are (13, -6).

zzz [12365]

Answer: CI = (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation: The confidence interval for the difference in means is given as

Lower limit

= (x1 - x2) + margin of error

Upper limit

= (x1 - x2) - margin of error

Where x1 - x2 = 8 and the margin of error = 8

For the lower limit,

= 8 - 8 = 0

For the upper limit

= 8 + 8 = 16

Thus, CI = (0, 8)

Employee C is paid an hourly rate of $13.25 per hour and works 2,080 hours per year. The employee was just promoted and received
Svet_ta [12734]
His hourly wage was $13.25, and he just got a 15% increase.
Calculating: 13.25 + 0.15 × 13.25 = 13.25 + 1.99 = 15.24 dollars per hour with the raise.

For 2080 hours, the total yearly pay is:
15.24 × 2080 = 31,699.20 <==

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Inessa [12570]

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 65 candy bars. Within this amount;

2 candy bars contain 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar contains 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars contain 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar contains 450 to 500 calories

Thus, the overall ratio of candy bars with more than 300 calories is;

= (2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12

Explicación paso a paso:

Debemos encontrar la ecuación para poder graficar.

De acuerdo a la afirmación, la ecuación sería:

E = v * t - Ei

Siendo Ei (20) la elevación inicial, t el tiempo transcurrido y la velocidad de 4, realizamos la sustitución y obtenemos:

 E = 4 * t - 20

A continuación, debemos calcular los valores correspondientes:

E (0) = 4 * 0 - 20 = -20

E (1) = 4 * 1 - 20 = -16

E (2) = 4 * 2 - 20 = -12

E (3) = 4 * 3 - 20 = -8

E (4) = 4 * 4 - 20 = -4

E (5) = 4 * 5 - 20 = 0

Si graficamos, tendríamos la imagen anexa:
