Answer:

A. (a, 0)

D. (a/2,b/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a, 0) lies on one side of the triangle, because it is between (0,0) and (2a,0)

(0, b) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle, because only the only point with x-coordinate = 0 is (0,0)

(–a, b) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle, because only positive values are valid

Imagine the triangle with vertices (0,0), (a, 0) and (a,b). Let's call β the angle at vertex (0,0)

tan(β) = b/a

For triangle with vertices (0,0), (a/2, 0) and (a/2,b/2)

tan(β) = (b/2)/(a/2) = b/a

then, (a/2,b/2) lies on one side of the triangle

For triangle with vertices (0,0), (a/3, 0) and (a/3,b/4)

tan(β) = (b/4)/(a/3) = (3/4)*(b/a) ≠ b/a

then, (a/3,b/4) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle

Find an equation for the line below.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

y=3/4x-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a straight line, so it would follow the equation y=mx+b. You can find the b value by looking at the y-intercept of the equation (where x=0), which in this case would be -2.5. Then, you can find the m value by comparing the two given points' locations. Slope is rise over run, so first you can find the rise. The y value moves from y=-4 to y=2, which is a value of 6 units upward. The points move from x=-2 to x=6, which is a distance of 8 units. Finally, put it into the rise over run pattern, giving you 6/8, which simplified is 3/4. This is your m value. Finally, plug in your two variable values into y=mx+b and you'll get y=3/4x-2.5.
