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)

Consider the following function:y=1/(x+5)+2
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with the parent function, x was replaced by (x + 5), indicating that the graph of the new function is that of the old function shifted 5 units to the LEFT.  That +2 shifts this result UP by 2 units.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Total number of ways= 144 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ways 3 can order chicken

= 3!

= 3*2*1

= 6

Number of ways 4 can order steak

= 4!

= 4*3*2*1

= 24

Number of ways 1 can order lobster

= 1!

= 1

Total number of ways= 24*6*1

Total number of ways= 144 ways

Why do the inequality signs stay the same in the last two steps of exercise 1
MrRissso [65]
The only reason an inequality would change would be because a number is divided or multiplied by a negative number. So if it stayed the same, then it would be because there was no division or multiplication by a negative number. Hope I helped :)
