A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marin

a traced the map onto a coordinate plane to find the exact location of the treasure.
x = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1

y = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (y 2 minus y 1) + y 1

What are the coordinates of the treasure? If necessary, round the coordinates to the nearest tenth.

(11.4, 14.2)
(7.6, 8.8)
(5.7, 7.5)
(10.2, 12.6)

Using proportions, it is found that the coordinates of the treasure as given as follows: (7.6, 8.8).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Researching the problem on the internet, the coordinates are as follows:

  • Rock (3,2).
  • Treasure (x,y).
  • Tree (16,21).

The treasure is buried between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio, hence the expression is:

Ts - R = \frac{5}{14}(Tr - R)

Hence, for the x-coordinate:

x - 3 = \frac{5}{14}(16 - 3)

x - 3 = 5 x 13/14

x = 7.6.

For the y-coordinate:

y - 2 = \frac{5}{14}(21 - 2)

y - 2 = 5 x 19/14

y = 8.8.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Given no. of persons owned laptop = 76

Total of no. of students owned + Total of no. of students dont have owned laptop given = 155

No. of students dont have laptops = 155 - 76 = 79

So then the total no. of no laptops = 79 + 17 = 96(ans)

Help please. <br> Give the slope of y - 3 = 4(x + 8) and a point on the line
Sauron [17]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Make y the subject :
-----------------------------------------------------------
y - 3 = 4(x + 8)      
y - 3 = 4x + 32           // Apply distributive property
y = 4x + 35                // Add 3 to both sides

-----------------------------------------------------------
Identify Slope : 
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slope = 4

-----------------------------------------------------------
Find a point on the line :
-----------------------------------------------------------
When x = 0, 
y = 4(0) + 35              // Sub x = 0 into the equation 
y = 35                         // Combine like terms
Point = (0, 35)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Answers :
(a) Slope = 4
(b) One point on the line is (0, 35)
