Mis the midpoint of segment ab. find the coordinates of b given a(-1,3) and m(-3,5).

The distance formula is an algebraic expression used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

D=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

D=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2

Example

Find the distance between (-1, 1) and (3, 4).

This problem is solved simply by plugging our x- and y-values into the distance formula:

D=(3−(−1))2+(4−1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√=

D=(3−(−1))2+(4−1)2=

=16+9−−−−−√=25−−√=5

=16+9=25=5

Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle point is called the "midpoint". By definition, a midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the segment in two congruent segments.

If the end points of a line segment is (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the midpoint of the line segment has the coordinates:

(x1+x22,y1+y22)

(x1+x22,y1+y22)

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
