\text{Let the coordinates of AB are }A(-5,-1), \text{ and }B(-2, -6)\\
\\
\text{let the coordinate of th point C be (x, y), such that}\\
\\
AC:CB=3:7\\
\\
\text{By the section formula, we know that if P(x,y) lies on a line segment AB}\\
\text{where, }A(x_1,y_1), \ B(x_2,y_2)\text{ and satisfy the ratio, }AP:PB=m:n, \text{ then}

P=\left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \ \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right ).\\
\\
\text{So using this formula, we get for the given problem}\\
\\
C=\left ( \frac{3(-2)+7(-5)}{3+7}, \ \frac{3(-6)+7(-1)}{3+7} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-6-35}{10}, \ \frac{-18-7}{10} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-41}{10}, \ \frac{-25}{10} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( -4.1, \ -2.5 \right )

Coordinates of the point C is: (-4.1, -2.5)

Answer please i will give brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

simply add both equations

x + y = 2

-3x - y = 5

----------------

-2x + 0 = 7

x = -7/2

x + y = 2

-7/2 + y = 2

y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2

b.

1/2 x + 2y = -13

x - 4y = 8

first multiply the first equating by 2

x + 4y = -26

x - 4y = 8

--------------------

2x + 0 = -18

x = -18/2 = -9

x - 4y = 8

-9 - 4y = 8

-4y = 17

y = -17/4

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder have the same height and radius. The volume
USPshnik [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

radius of sphere, rs

radius of cylinder, rc

height of cylinder, h

given: h = rs = rc =r..eq1

volume of cylinder, vc = 27pi ft...eq2

volume of cylinder, vc = pi × rc^2 × h...eq3

volume of sphere, vs = 4/3(pi×rs^3)...eq4

subst for h & rs from eqn 1 in eqn 3...

vc = pi x r^2 x r= pi x r^3...eqn 5

subst for vc from eqn 2 in eqn 5...

=> 27 pi ft = pi x r^3

=> 27 = r^3

=> r = 3ft...eqn 6

subst for rs from eqn 1 in eqn 4

vs = 4/3 (pi x r^3)...eqn7

subst for pi x r^3 from eqn 5 in eqn 7

vs = 4/3 vc = 4/3 (27pi ft) = 36 pi ft
