PLZ HELP ASAP DIVIDE LINE SEGMENTS

Mathematics
1 answer:
rodikova [14]2 years ago
7 0
Segment in the direction from A to C
Initial Point: A=(9,5)=(xa,ya)→xi=xa=9, yi=ya=5
Final point: C=(-7,1)=(xc,yc)→xf=xc=-7, yf=yc=1
B=(xb,yb)=?
Proportion: r=AB/BC=3:1=3/1→r=3
 
xb=(xi+r*xf)/(1+r)
Replacing xi=xa=9, xf=xc=-7 and r=3
xb=[9+3*(-7)]/(1+3)
xb=(9-21)/4
xb=(-12)/4
xb=-3

yb=(yi+r*yf)/(1+r)
Replacing yi=ya=5, yf=yc=1 and r=3
yb=[5+3*(1)]/(1+3)
yb=(5+3)/4
yb=8/4
yb=2

B=(xb,yb)→B=(-3,2)

Answer: B=(-3,2)

Solve the system of equations using substitution -3x + 2y = 12 x = 2y - 8
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

-3x + 2y = 12

x = 2y - 8

You can 'substitute' the expression '2y - 8' for the value of 'x' in the first equation and solve for 'y':

-3(2y - 8) + 2y = 12

Distribute: -6y + 24 + 2y = 12

Combine like terms: -4y + 24 = 12

Subtract 24 from both sides: -4y + 24 - 24 = 12 - 24 or -4y = -12

Divide both sides by -4: -4y/-4 = -12/-4  or y = 3

Use y = 3 to solve for 'x':

x = 2(3) - 8 or 6 - 8

x = -2

(-2, 3)
