Answer:

m=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point C(x_3,y_3)=(-6,m) divides the join of point A(x_1,y_1)=(-3,-1) and point B(x_2,y_2)=(8,9)

Let the line AB divides by Point C in a ratio m:n=k:1

Then, Using section formula   (x_3,y_3)=\frac{x_1n+x_2m}{m+n},\frac{y_1n+y_2m}{m+n}

Applying formula,

x_3,y_3=\frac{x_1n+x_2m}{m+n},\frac{y_1n+y_2m}{m+n}

x_3,y_3=\frac{-8k-3}{k+1},\frac{9k-1}{k+1}

But, x_3=-6

Therefore,  x_3=\frac{-8k-3}{k+1}

-6=\frac{-8k-3}{k+1}

-6k-6=-8k-3

2k-3=0

k=\frac{3}{2}

Therefore, C divides line AB in 3:2

Now,  m=\frac{9k-1}{k+1}  where, k=3/2

m=\frac{9\frac{3}{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}+1}

m=\frac{\frac{25}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}

m=\frac{25\times2}{2\times5}

m=5

Answer:

Ratio = 3 : 2 and value of m = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the end points ( -3,-1 ) and ( -8,9 ) of a line and a point P = ( -6,m ) divides this line in a particular ratio.

Let us assume that it cuts the line in k : 1 ratio.

Then, the co-ordinates of P = ( \frac{-8k-3}{k+1},\frac{9k-1}{k+1} ).

But, \frac{-8k-3}{k+1} = -6

i.e. -8k-3 = -6k-6

i.e. -2k = -3

i.e. k = \frac{3}{2}

So, the ratio is k : 1 i.e \frac{3}{2} : 1 i.e. 3 : 2.

Hence, the ratio in which P divides the line is 3 : 2.

Also, \frac{9k-1}{k+1} = m where k = \frac{3}{2}

i.e. m = \frac{\frac{9 \times 3}{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}-1}

i.e. m = \frac{27-2}{3+2}

i.e. m = \frac{25}{5}

i.e. m = 5.

Hence, the value of m is 5.

The cost of renting a community center is $100, with an additional cost of $10 per guest.
Marysya12 [62]

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of guests is the independent variable and should be between 1 and 50.  We can use a scale of 10's

The cost is the dependent variable and the minimum cost is 100 and should rise from there

The scale would be from 100 's

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

since there are 8 cards, and 2 say WIN, 6 of the 8 cards don't say WIN. You can express this as a ratio of 6:8 which equals 3:4, so the probability that neither says win is 75%.

The graph is falling on the left hand side and rising on the right hand side.

Since the two ends of graph are in opposite direction, the exponent of variable has to be odd. For an even exponent of leading term, the two ends are in same direction.

Since the graph is falling on left and rising on right, this indicates that the coefficient of leading term is positive.

So, the leading term must have:
1) Odd exponent
2) Positive Coefficient

Thus, option Fourth is the correct answer

Answer:

B) A dilation followed by a reflection

3 of our transformations are called isometries. These are transformations that preserve the size and shape of the original figure; they just change the position or orientation of it. Translations, reflections and rotations are all isometries. We know that isometries preserve congruence, since they maintain the size and shape of the original figure.

dilation changes the size of a figure. Since the new figure will not be the same size as the original, they will not be congruent.
