given directed line segment CD, if point E divides CD three-fourths of the way from C to D, find the coordinates of E then plot
1 answer:
The coordinates of point E is (-2, -1.5)
<h3>How to determine the coordinates of point E?</h3>The complete question is added as an attachment
The given parameters are
C = (1, 6)
D = (-3, -4)
The ratio 3/4 can be represented as:
m : n = 3 : 1
So, the coordinate of point E is
E = 1/(m + n) * (mx2 + nx1, my2 + ny1)
So, we have:
E = 1/(3 + 1) * (3 * -3 + 1 * 1, 3 * -4 + 1 * 6)
Evaluate
E = 1/(4) * (-8, -6)
This gives
E = (-2, -1.5)
Hence, the coordinates of point E is (-2, -1.5)

<u>Shorter term class:</u>
You pay $200 for 54 classes in total. So,
dollars per class (rounded to 3 decimal places)
<u>Longer term class:</u>
You pay $350 for 108 classes in total, So,
dollars per class (rounded to 3 decimal places)
Hence, by taking longer term classes, you save around dollars.
Rounding to 2 decimal places, you save $0.46 per class.
ANSWER: You save $0.46 per class.
slope = -
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
rearrange 2x + 3y = - 12 into this form
subtract 2x from both sides
3y = - 2x - 12 ( divide all terms by 3 )
y = - x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
