Answer:

(12,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the midpoint of the side opposite this vertex have coordinates B(a,b)

We have the centroid at C(8,7) and the vertex of the triangle at A(0,1).

The centroid divides AB internally in the ratio 2:1

We use the formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

where m:n=2:1 is the ratio of internal division.

We substitute the coordinates of A and B and the ratio to get:

(\frac{2a+1*0}{2+1},\frac{2b+1*1}{2+1})

This should simplify and give us the centroid.

(\frac{2a}{3},\frac{2b+1}{3})=(8,7)

This implies that:

\frac{2a}{3}=8,\frac{2b+1}{3}=7

We solve for a and b

2a=24,2b+1=21

a=12,b=10

Therefore the midpoint of the side opposite this vertex is (12,10)

(6, -12). (15. -3)<br> Find the slope
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The slope is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A first order function has the following format

y = ax + b

In which a is the slope

(6, -12).

This means that when x = 6, y = -12

So

y = ax + b

-12 = 6a + b

(15. -3)

This means that when x = 15, y = -3

So

y = ax + b

-3 = 15a + b

We have to solve the following system of equations:

-12 = 6a + b

-3 = 15a + b

We have to find a

In the second equation i will write as:

b = -3 - 15a

Replacing in the first

-12 = 6a + b

-12 = 6a - 3 - 15a

-9 = -9a

9a = 9

a = \frac{9}{9}

a = 1

The slope is 1.

If C is an infinite set and B is a finite set then C\B is infinite set
makvit [3.9K]
If C = infinity and B = infinity, then:

C = B
C + B = infinity
C - B = 0
CB = infinity ............ ( C multiplied by B )

however, C divided by B is undefined.
