Answer:

Correct answer:  C (6.5 , - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points A(-1,-2) and B(9, -10)

The formula by which we calculate the coordinates of a point, let be C, that divides the line segment in the given ratio is.

Xc = (Xa + λ · Xb) / (1 + λ)  and  Yc = (Ya + λ · Yb) / (1 + λ)

Where λ is the coefficient which depends on the direction of the ratio in this case is:

λ = 3 : 1 = 3

Xc = (-1 + 3 · 9) / (1 + 3) = (-1 + 27)/ 4 = 26 / 4 = 6.5

Xc = 6.5

Yc = (-2 + 3 · (-10) / (1 + 3) = (-2 - 30)/ 4 = -32 / 4 = - 8

Yc = - 8

God is with you!!!

First find angle EBC. 
The are for a triangle is 180 degrees.
It is a right triangle and has a right angle.
180 - (90 + 50)
180 - 140
angle EBC IS 40
NOW FIND X
The line is 180 degrees.
180 -40 = 140
X = 140 DEGREES

72 is equal to 80% of a number n. Write and solve and equation to find n. Write the percent as a decimal.
valentina_108 [34]
Well I'm not sure what the answer would be since I'm not that smart but I did get the answer of 90, I did this by dividing 72 by 80 which equals .9 and I multiplied that by 100 and got 90.

L.C.M of x2 + 3x + 2 and x2 + 4x + 3
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x+1)(x+2)

x^2 + 4x + 3 = (x+1)(x+3)

LCM = (x+1)(x+2)(x+3) = (x^2 + 3x + 2) (x+3) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 11x + 6
