Answer:
d. (5,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
On the original segment (black endpoints), the (red) point is the most accurate to being 2/3 the distance from endpoint (-3,8)
You can do this by comparing your equation to the general form of equation of a circle
( x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 where (a,b) is the centre and r = radius:-
(x + 9)^2 (y + 6)^2 = 9
so (a,b) = (-9,-6) and r = 3
so the answer is B
For Q3, you can subsitute x = 2 and y = 5 into the systems
-5(2) + 5 = -5
so it's a solution for the first system
-4(2)+2(5) = 2
it's also a solution for the second system
Answer:
- as written: c = P - a - b - d/4
- with parentheses: c = 4P - a - b - d
Step-by-step explanation:
The meaning of the given expression is ...
P = a + b + c + (d/4)
To solve for c, subtract all the terms on the right side not containing c.
P -(a + b + (d/4)) = c
c = P - a - b - (d/4)
_____
In such equations, parentheses are commonly missing. If that is the case here, then first we undo the division by 4, then we subtract the "not c" terms.
P = (a + b + c + d)/4 . . . . maybe what you meant
4P = a + b + c + d . . . . . . multiply by 4
4P - (a +b +d) = c
c = 4P -a -b -d
