Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point A is at (2, -8) and point C is at (-4, 7)

Difference of coordinates:

Δx = 2 - (-4) = 6
Δy = - 8 - 7 = - 15

The ratio of AB to AC is 2:1. So:

AB = 2*AC/3 and BC = AC/3

Then coordinates of point B should be 2/3 from the point A:

x = 2- 6*2/3 = 2 - 4 = -2
y = - 8 - (-15)*2/3 = -8 + 10 = 2

So point B has coordinates of (-2, 2)

If the area of a circle is 58 square feet, find the circumference. A. 42.5 ft. B. 4.25 ft. C. 22.35 ft. D. 26.99 ft.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the circumference of a circle is:

$C=2r\pi$

Where r is the radius.

The formula for calculate the area of a circle is:

$A=r^2\pi$

Where r is the radius.

Solve for r from $A=r^2\pi$ to calculate it:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}\\r=\sqrt{\frac{58ft^2}{\pi}}\\r=4.296ft$

Subsitute the radius into $C=2r\pi$ . Then:

$C=(2)(4.296ft)\pi=26.99ft$

Danika signs up to work for 3 1/2 hours at the science fair. If each work shift is 3/4 hour, how many shifts will Danika work?

namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½? Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{7}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{3}\implies \cfrac{14}{3}\implies 4\frac{2}{3}$

Solve this equation with substitution method :- x+5 = 3 (y+5) x-5 = 7 (y-5)

Damm [24]

From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10

Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40

In an experiment, the one variable that is changed by the person doing the experiment is called the Question 2 options: controll

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: Independent Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent (or manipulated) variable is something that the experimenter purposely changes or varies over the course of the investigation. The dependent (or responding) variable is the one that is observed and likely changes in response to the independent variable.
