Find the point that is 3/4 of the distance P (-6,-5) to the point Q (2,7)

Using proportions, the coordinates of the point 3/4 of the way from P to Q are: (0,4).

<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. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

We want to find the coordinates of point M(x,y) 3/4 of the way from P to Q, hence the rule is given by:

M - P = 3/4(Q - P)

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

x + 6 = 3/4(2 + 6)

x + 6 = 6

x  = 0.

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

y + 5 = 3/4(7 + 5)

y + 5 = 9.

y = 4.

The coordinates are (0,4).

A container ship left port last week caring some good weighing a total of 125,890 tons today I stopped in another port to unload
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to be specific.  Did the weight decrease by 60 tons or 60 pounds?  I assume tons, but in math, you can't assume.

This problem seems overly simple, so I am wondering if some information is missing.  With the given information and assuming the decrease was in fact 60 tons, you would have:

125,890 - 60 = 125,830 tons

I don't know how to explain it
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Sam's thinking was incorrect.

On number first we have to move 10 units from 0 in positive direction after that negative sign means move in left direction.

But we have 2 negative signs so we need to move 6 units more on positive or right direct as shown below.
