Answer:

Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4. Will P be closer to A or B? Why?

A number line goes from point A to point B. A line is drawn from point A to point B.

<em><u>Right Answer  A.)   P will be closer to A because it will be Three-sevenths the distance from A to B.  </u></em>

Wrong Answer  B.)   P will be closer to A because it will be Four-sevenths the distance from A to B.

Wrong Answer C.)    P will be closer to B because it will be Three-sevenths the distance from B to A.

Wrong Answer D.)   P will be closer to B because it will be Four-sevenths the distance from B to A.

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point P partitions a directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4, we are to determine how close P is to either A or B.

To do this, we take an example.

Let the length of line segment AB be 14 Units.

Since P divides AB in the ratio 3:4

  • Length of AP=\frac{3}{7}X14=6 \:units
  • Length of PB=\frac{4}{7}X14=8 \:units

Therefore, from the above, we can conclude that P will be closer to A as its distance from A is shorter than its distance from B.

<u>The correct option is A.</u>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Dot plot for movies seen by a students in a month

To Find : measures of spread

Solution:

Movies frequency cumulative frequency

0 1 1

1 0 1

2 0 1

3 0 1

4 3 4

5 8 12

6 3 15

7 1 16

8 5 21

9 2 23

10 3 26

Range = 10 - 0 = 10

Q2 = (6 + 6)/2 = 6 (13th + 14t)/2

Q1 = 5 7th

Q3 = 8 20th

IQR = Q3 - Q1

= 8 - 5

= 3

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.
motikmotik
Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.

2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3

now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
        -42          -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3

now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6

solution is (6,3)

it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)

so yes, ur solution is (6,3)
