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:

( - x, - y )

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting is always Quadrant I.

270 degrees clockwise from Quadrant I is Quadrant III.

In Quadrant III, the points will be in the form ( - x, - y ).

Ms. Brown predicted that 25% of the days in January would have temperatures below 45°F. How many days does she predict will have
Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is 7.75. Since there can not be 7.75 days, you can round that to 8 and say that it's almost 8 days. Hope this helps!

suppose you have three consecutive integers. The greatest of the three integers is twice as great as the sum of the first two. W
zvonat [6]

Answer:

0,1,2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2) = 2((x+1)+(x)

x+2 = 2x+2+2x

x+2 = 4x+2

-x       -x

2     = 3x + 2

-2            -2

0/3   = 3x/3

0 = x

How long will it take a $800 investment to be worth $900 if it is continuously compounded at 11% per year?
Kruka [31]
The formula is
A=p e^rt
A future value 900
P present value 800
E constant
R interest rate 0.11
T time?

We need to solve for t
T=[log (A/p)÷log (e)]÷r
T=(log(900÷800)÷log(e))÷0.11
T=1.07 years round your answer to get 1 year
