The fraction of the furniture sold that are tables is given by 1/2y / (1/3x + 1/3y)

<h3>Equation</h3>

Let

  • number of chairs = x
  • Number of tables = y

Number of tables and chairs sold = 1/2(x + y)

= 1/2x + 1/2y

  • Fraction of chairs sold = 1/2x
  • Fraction of tables sold = 1/2y

Furniture remaining = 1/3(x + y)

Fraction of tables sold = 1/2y ÷ 1/3(x + y)

= 1/2y ÷ 1/3x + 1/3y

= 1/2y × 1 / (1/3x + 1/3y)

= 1/2y / (1/3x + 1/3y)

Therefore, the fraction of the furniture sold that are tables is given by 1/2y / (1/3x + 1/3y)

iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}

Now , these distance are equal :

h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2

Solving above equation , we get :

P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})

Hence , this is the required solution.

What is the equation of a line passing through the points (-3,<br> -2) and (2, 0)?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

y=0.400x+-0.800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

point A = (-3, -2)
point B = (2, 0)

To write the equation of the line that passes through two points we have to write the points in slope intercept form.

Formula for slope intercept:

y=mx+b

M is equal to the slope of the two points, so first we need to fine the slope of the two points.

(-3,-2)=(x1,y1)
(2,0)=(x2,y2)

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
m=\frac{0--2}{2--3} =\frac{2}{5}
m=\frac{2}{5} =0.400

y=mx+b
y=-2
m=0.400
x=-3
-2=0.400(-3)+b
0.400\times-3=-1.20
-2+1.2=-0.800
b=-0.800

y=0.400x+-0.800

Hope this helps.
