The distance between two points, a and b, on a number line is expressed as |a – b|, where a and b are rational numbers. Think about locating a point halfway between a and b on a number line. How can you find the coordinate for such a point? Develop a formula in terms of a and b that you can use to find the coordinate. Your formula must work for positive and negative values of a and b. Does absolute value play a role in your formula? Why or why not? Under what circumstances might your formula be used in the real world? Explain. Discuss how you can find the coordinate of a point located other fractional distances from a to b (or from b to a). For example, locate a point three-fourths of the distance from a to b. What kind of calculation is involved?

20+ ! come and answer quick! triangle mno is reflected over the x-axis and then translated up 4 and right 3. how can the transformation be amended such that the translation can occur before the reflection and have the image remain in the same position? a translate the pre-image down 4 and right 3 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis. b translate the pre-image up 3 and right 4 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis. c translate the pre-image up 4 and left 3 and then reflect the figure over the y-axis. d translate the pre-image down 3 and right 4 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis.

Heather is writing a quadratic function that represents a parabola that touches but does not cross the x-axis at x = -6. which function could heather be writing? fx) = x2 + 36x + 12 = x2 - 36x - 12 f(x) = -x + 12x + 36 f(x) = -x? - 12x - 36
