Answer:

P = (2, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find coordinates of P on segment AB such that P is 3/4 is of the way from A to B.

<h3>Equation for P</h3>

For some fraction q of the distance from A to B, the point P that lies at that fraction of the distance is given by ...

P = A +q(B -A) = (1 -q)A +qB

<h3>Application</h3>

For q = 3/4, the location of P is ...

P = (1 -3/4)A + 3/4B = (A +3B)/4

Using the given point coordinates, we have ...

P = ((-4, -2) +3(4, 10))/4 = (-4 +12, -2 +30)/4 = (8, 28)/4

P = (2, 7)

If a car with an average speed of 40 miles per hour drives for 45 minutes how far will it have gone

REY [17]

Answer: $30\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of the car is 40 miles per hour:

$V=40\ \frac{mi}{h}$

The car drives for 45 minutes:

$t=45\ min$

Since 1 hours has 60 minutes, we can convert the time from minutes to hours:

$(45\ min)(\frac{1\ h}{60\ min})=0.75\ h$

Knowing these values, we can use the following formula for calculate the distace "d":

$d=V*t$

Therefore, substituting values into the formula, we get:

$d=(40\ \frac{mi}{h})(0.75\ h)\\\\d=30\ mi$

Match the following:a. When two variables change in the same direction, one remaining larger than the other by the same factor b

Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. When two variables change in the same direction, one remaining larger than the other by the same factor - direct relationship

b. To insert between neighboring points or estimate by taking an average of known values - interpolate

c. A relationship between two variables in which the product remains constant. When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged - inverse relationship
