Answer:

Therefore,

Q(x,y)=(8,-3)

As Q is such that Segment AB is partitioned into 1 : 1

1 : 1 means Equally divided in two parts.

∴ Q is the midpoint of AB

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Q is such that Segment AB is partitioned into 1 : 1  

Let ,

A(x₁ , y₁) = (6, -2) and  

B(x₂ , y₂) = (10, -4)

To Find:

Q( x , y ) = ?

Solution:

As Q is such that Segment AB is partitioned into 1 : 1

1 : 1 means Equally divided in two parts.

∴ Q is the midpoint of AB then By Mid point Formula the Coordinate of Q is given by,

Mid\ point(AB)=(\dfrac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \dfrac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})

Substituting the values we get

Q(x,y)=(\dfrac{6+10}{2}, \dfrac{-2+-4}{2})

Q(x,y)=(\dfrac{16}{2}, \dfrac{-6}{2})=(8,-3)

Therefore,

Q(x,y)=(8,-3)

As Q is such that Segment AB is partitioned into 1 : 1

1 : 1 means Equally divided in two parts.

∴ Q is the midpoint of AB

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{4}{3}=1\dfrac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

x-\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 6}\\\\6x-6\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\left(\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\right)+6\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{6\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\right)=6\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\left(\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\right)\\\\6x-(2)(2)+1=5\\\\6x-4+1=5\\\\6x-3=5\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\6x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{6}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}\\\\x=\dfrac{4}{3}
