A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-

seropon [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let $A(x,y) = (14,21)$ and $B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A})$ . The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:

$y-y_{A} = m\cdot (x-x_{A})$ (1)

Where:

$x_{A}$ , $y_{A}$ - Coordinates of the point A, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

In addition, the slope of the line is defined by:

$m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}}$ (2)

If we know that $x_{A} = 14$ and $y_{A} = 21$ , then the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

$x_{B} = 1.25\cdot (14)$

$x_{B} = 17.5$

$y_{B} = 0.75\cdot (21)$

$y_{B} = 15.75$

From (2):

$m = \frac{15.75-21}{17.5-14}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

By (1):

$y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Simplify the expression cos x cot x+ sin x please select the best answer from the choices provided a.0, b.csc x, c. Tan x, d sec

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}$

$cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x$

$\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1$

Solving for $cos^2 x$ we got $cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x$ and replacing this we got:

$\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x$

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression given:

$cos x cot x + sin x$

We know from math properties that the definition for cot is $cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}$

If we use this definition we got:

$cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x$

$\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

Now we can use the following identity:

$sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1$

Solving for $cos^2 x$ we got $cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x$ and replacing this we got:

$\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x$

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Iv)<br>6x+3y=6xy<br>2x + 4y= 5xy

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Ok, we have a system of equations:

6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y

2*x + 4*y = 5*x*y

First, we want to isolate one of the variables,

As we have almost the same expression (x*y) in the right side of both equations, we can see the quotient between the two equations:

(6*x + 3*y)/(2*x + 4*y) = 6/5

now we isolate one off the variables:

6*x + 3*y = (6/5)*(2*x + 4*y) = (12/5)*x + (24/5)*y

x*(6 - 12/5) = y*(24/5 - 3)

x = y*(24/5 - 3)/(6 - 12/5) = 0.5*y

Now we can replace it in the first equation:

6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y

6*(0.5*y) + 3*y = 6*(0.5*y)*y

3*y + 3*y = 3*y^2

3*y^2 - 6*y = 0

Now we can find the solutions of that quadratic equation as:

$y = \frac{6 +- \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4*3*0} }{2*3} = \frac{6 +- 6}{6}$

So we have two solutions

y = 0

y = 2.

Suppose that we select the solution y = 0

Then, using one of the equations we can find the value of x:

2*x + 4*0 = 5*x*0

2*x = 0

x = 0

(0, 0) is a solution

if we select the other solution, y = 2.

2*x + 4*2 = 5*x*2

2*x + 8 = 10*x

8 = (10 - 2)*x = 8x

x = 1.

(1, 2) is other solution

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following end points (10,5) and (6,9)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x, y) be the mid-point

Given the points

(10,5)

(6,9)

Using the formula to find the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9)

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

Here:

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:9\right)$

Thus,

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{6+10}{2},\:\frac{9+5}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Therefore, the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$
