\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)

If f(x) =1/x and g(x) = x - 2 what is f(g(x)) when X = 1​
Fed [463]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  \frac{1}{x}  \\  \\ g(x) = x - 2 \\  \\  \implies \: f(g(x)) =  \frac{1}{x - 2}  \\  \\  \implies \: f(g(1)) =  \frac{1}{1 - 2} \\  \\  \implies \: f(g(1)) =  \frac{1}{ - 1} \\  \\  \implies \: f(g(1)) =   - 1

Find the slope of each line
yuradex [85]
The slope is -2. this is because if you look at the graph it goes down 2 units and it goes right to the once so it’ll be -2/1 which equals -2.
