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)

dsp73

Answer:

The correct option is commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that Renee is simplifying is:

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})$

It is provided that, Renee recognizes that 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ are reciprocals, so she would like to find their product before she multiplies by $\frac{13}{29}$ .

The associative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=(a\times b)\times c=a\times (b\times c)$

The commutative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=a\times c\times b=c\times a\times b$

The distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

The identity property of multiplication states that:

$a\times 1=a\\b\times 1=b$

So, Renee should use the commutative property of multiplication to find the product of 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ ,

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})=(7\times\frac{1}{7})\times\frac{13}{29}=\frac{13}{29}$

Thus, the correct option is commutative property.

Simplifying expressions without negative exponents with variales

Olin [163]

Multiply (or distribute) the exponent outside the parenthesis with every exponent inside the parenthesis, remember that if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. Step 3: Apply the Negative Exponent Rule. Negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents.

The median of a set of consecutive odd integers is 138. If the greatest integer in the set is 145, what is the least integer in

garri49 [273]

Answer:

131

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Median of a consecutive odd integers = 138

Greatest integer In dataset = 145

Least integer in dataset =

Since the integers are consecutive ;

Number of integers to greatest integer value : Greatest integer - median value = 145 - 138 = 7

Hence, 7 integers before the median value should give us the least integer value ;

138 - 7 = 131

CHECK:

131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144,145

Median = (n+1)/2 th term

Median = (15+1)/2 = 8th term = 138

Highest = 145

Least = 131
