The coordinates of the point P which divides the line segment AB made by the points A(-7,2) and B(9,-6) is  (x,y) = (5,-4)

<h3>What is the coordinate of the point which divides a line segment in a specified ratio?</h3>

Suppose that there is a line segment \overline{AB}such that a point P(x,y) lying on that line segment \overline{AB} divides the line segment  \overline{AB} in m:n, then, the coordinates of the point P is given by:

(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} , \dfrac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n} \right)

where we have:

  • the coordinate of A is (x_1, y_1)
  • and the coordinate of B is (x_2, y_2)

We're given that:

  • Coordinate of A is (x_1, y_1) = (-7,2)
  • Coordinate of B is (x_2, y_2) = (9.-6)
  • The point P lies on AB such that AP:BP=3:1 (so m = 3, and n = 1)

Let the coordinate of P be (x,y), then we get the values of x and y as:

(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} , \dfrac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n} \right)\\\\(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{3(9) + 1(-7)}{3+1} , \dfrac{3(-6) + 1(2)}{3+1} \right)\\\\(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{20}{4} , \dfrac{-16}{4} \right) = (5,-4)

Thus, the coordinates of the point P which divides the line segment AB made by the points A(-7,2) and B(9,-6) is  (x,y) = (5,-4)

Answer:

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter= 22 cm

radius = diameter/2

=22/2

11 cm

volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3}*pie* r^3

=\frac{4}{3} * 3.14 *11^3

=4.186666 * 1331

=5572 . 5 cubic centimeters (cm^3)

Solve for x. <br><br> 12x/5 = 18
jarptica [38.1K]
For this problem you have to isolate the variable. To do this you must inverse the operations. Multiply 18 by 5, then divide by 12 to get your answer of 7.5

1. What number comes next in this sequence?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is B. 592

Explain

The common pattern Number is

48 - 11 = 37 + 22 = 59 - 33 = 26 + 22 = 48 - 11 = 37

37 + 22 = 59
Add 22

59 - 33 = 26

subtract 33
