Refer to the figure shown below.

The point c, on line segment ab, is in a 3:1 ratio from a.
Therefore,
the x-coordinate of c is -1 +(3/4)*(3) = 5/4 = 1.25.
the y-coordinate of c is 1 - (3/4)*(2) = -1/2 = -0.5.

At point p(x,y), we want d1 = 3d₂, or d₁² = 9d₂².
Therefore
(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 9[(x - 2)² + (y + 1)²]
x² + 2x + 1 + y² - 2y + 1 = 9x² - 36x + 36 + 9y² + 18y + 9
8x² - 38x + 8y² + 20y + 43 = 0
x² - 4.75x + y² + 2.5y + 5.375 = 0
(x - 2.375)² - 5.6406 + (y + 1.25)² - 1.5625 + 5.375 = 0
(x - 2.375)² + (y + 1.25)² = 1.828
This is a circle with center at (2.375, -1.25) and radius 1.352.

Answer:
(x - 2.375)² + (y +1.25)² = 1.828

Write in slope intercept form, then convert to standard form Slope=1, y-intercept=-3​
Viktor [21]

Slope = 1

y-intercept = -3, which can be expressed as (0,-3).

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y -(-3) = 1(x - 0)

y + 3 = x

The slope-intercept form is

y = x - 3.

The standard form is Ax + By = C.

y = x - 3

3 = x - y

Done.

How would you express 325.4 miles on 17.3 gallons as a unit rate
Nikitich [7]
I think the answer is 18.8 Miles/gallons. 325.4 miles / 17.3 gallons = 18.78 miles/gallons, round it to 18.8 miles/gallons.
