Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points R(3,2) and S(-5,5).

The x coordinates are 3 and -5. They add to 3+(-5) = -2

Cut this in half to get -2/2 = -1

The x coordinate of the midpoint is x = -1

The y coordinates are 2 and 5. They add to 2+5 = 7.

Then we cut this in half to get 7/2 = 3.5

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = 3.5

Overall, the midpoint is (-1, 3.5)

the answer is d

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
