When we are to divide the line segment such that the ratio is 1:2, there are actually 3 parts of the segment. First, we determine the distance between the coordinates and divide the distance by 3. Then, we add the quotient to the x-coordinate.
x-coordinate: (2 - 9) / 3 = -7/3
y-coordinate: (6 - 3 ) / 3 = 1
Adding them to the coordinates of a,
x - coordinate: (9 - 7/3) = 20/3
y - coordinate: (3 + 1) = 4
Thus, the coordinates are (20/3, 4).
Can you add the picture so im able to see and help :)
29
2x29=58-3 =55
3-2x (x=29) =55
29x2=58-3
The absolute value of a number is the distance from point to the origin. Since Paula is located at a position of −12 feet relative to the ground, then the distance from point -12 on the number line to the origin is 12 (distance cannot be negative).
Thus, |-12|=12 and Paula is at a distance of 12 feet.
Answer: correct choice is C
