Answer:

(-3.5, 2.3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point P have coordinates : (x, y)

The line (from R to Q) is divided in the ratio :

Coordinates of :

Q = (-5, 3)
R = (4, -1)

Using section formula :

x = mx₂ + nx₁ / m + n
x = 5(-5) + 1(4) / 5 + 1
x = -21/6 = -7/2
x = -3.5

y = my₂ + ny₁ / m + n
y = 5(3) + 1(-1) / 5 + 1
y = 14/6 = 7/3
y = 2.3

The coordinates of the point P are : (-3.5, 2.3)

'2aa4b' is a 5 digit number and when its divided by '36' it gives '11' as remainder. What is the sum of the values 'a' can have.

OverLord2011 [107]

The only 5-digit numbers that do the job are 21,143 and 28,847 .

So, either
a = 1 and
b = 3

or
a = 8 and
b = 7 .

The sum of the values that 'a' can have is (1 + 7) = 8 .

I shall cherish every one of your generous 5 points.

Answer:

C. y = -2x.

Step-by-step explanation:

x y

0 0

2 -4

4 - 8

6 -12

Note that the y values = x values * -2,

so the equation is y = -2x.

Subtract the sum of -1 37 and - 43 from the sum of - 103 and 27

umka2103 [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

I hope you mean to subtract (-137) +(-43) from sum of -103 and 27.

First, add -103 + 27

$= - 103 + 27$

$= - 76$

{As ( minus + plus )= subtracts with sign which has greator value. }

now,

$( - 137) + ( - 43) = - 180$

{ minus + minus = add with minus sign}.

Now, subtracting -180 from -76.

=(-76) - (-180 )

Now, multiply the sign (- × -)= +

so, -180 becomes +180

= -76+180

= 104..... is answer.

Hope it helps...
