Segment PH is graphed on the coordinate grid where P is (-31,8) and H is (29,-10). Point E is the midpoint of segment PH. If poi

nt A is graphed 2/3 of the way along the segment from P to E, then what are the coordinates of point A?

Answer:

The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

- The coordinates of point P are (-31 , 8)

- The coordinates of point H are (29 , -10)

- Point E is the mid-point of segment PH

- The coordinates of the the mid-point are:

→ x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} and y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

∵ E is the mid-point of segment PH

∴ The x-coordinate of point E is x=\frac{-31+29}{2}=-1

∴ The x-coordinate of point E is -1

∴ The y-coordinate of point E is y=\frac{8+-10}{2}=-1

∴ The y-coordinate of point E is -1

∴ The coordinates of point E are (-1 , -1)

- Point A is graphed \frac{2}{3} of the way along the segment from P to E

- That mean the distances from points P to A is 2 parts and from P to E

  is 3 parts, then the distance from A to E is "3 - 2" = 1 part

- So point A divides the line segment PE at ratio 2 : 1 from P

- The coordinates of the division point are:

→ x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} and y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

∵ Point A divides PE at ratio 2 : 1

∵ The coordinates of point P are (-31 , 8)

∵ The coordinates of point E are (-1 , -1)

∴ The x-coordinate of point A is x=\frac{(-31)(1)+(-1)(2)}{2+1}= -11

∴ The x-coordinate of point A is -11

∴ The y-coordinate of point A is x=\frac{(8)(1)+(-1)(2)}{2+1}=2

∴ The y-coordinate of point A is 2

∴ The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

* The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

Becky spent 3/4 of an hour practicing the piano.She spent 1/2 of that time practicing her recital piece. What fractional part of
Ber [7]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First,

convert  3/4 of an hour to minutes;

If 1 hr = 60 mins

then 3/4 of 1hr = \frac{3}{4} *60\\ \\ =45 mins.Next, If 1/2 of 3/4 was spent practicing recital piece, it means that it is half of 45 mins;1/2 *45 = 22.5 minsLastly, convert the 22.5 mins into a fraction of an hour;22.5/60 = [tex]\frac{3}{8}
