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)

Answer:

x = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the secant- secant angle x is one- half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs , larger subtract smaller

x = \frac{1}{2} (66° - 14°) = 0.5 × 52° = 26°
