I think it is 2/17. If you do 2-0 over 17-0 you get 2/17. The equation for this is y2-x2 over y1-y2=slope

locate the point on the line segment A (3,-5) and B (13,-15) given that the point is 4/5 of the way from A to B. Show your work

Answer:

The coordinates of the point on the line segment between A (3 , -5) and B (13 , -15) given that the point is 4/5 of the way from A to B would be: (11 , -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

As the line segment has the points:

A(3, -5)

B(13, -15)

Let (x, y) be the point located on the line segment which is 4/5 of the way from A to B.

Using the formula

$x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

$y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

Here, the point (x , y) divides the line segment having end points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in the ratio m₁ : m₂ from the point (x₁, y₁).

As (x, y) be the point located on the line segment which is 4/5 of the way from A to B, meaning the distance from $A$ to $(x , y)$ is $4$ units, and the

distance from $(x , y)$ to B is 1 unit, as $5 - 4 = 1$ .

Thus

m : n = 4 : 1

Finding x-coordinate:

$x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

$x=\frac{\left(3\right)\left(1\right)+\left(13\right)\left(4\right)}{4+1}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a$

$x=\frac{3\cdot \:1+13\cdot \:4}{4+1}$

$x=\frac{55}{4+1}$ ∵ $3\cdot \:1+13\cdot \:4=55$

$x=\frac{55}{5}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{55}{5}=11$

$x=11$

Finding y-coordinate:

$y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

$y=\frac{\left(-5\right)\left(1\right)+\left(-15\right)\left(4\right)}{4+1}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a$

$y=\frac{-5\cdot \:\:1-15\cdot \:\:4}{4+1}$

$=\frac{-65}{4+1}$ ∵ $-5\cdot \:1-15\cdot \:4=-65$

$=\frac{-65}{5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$y=-\frac{65}{5}$

$y=-13$

The x-coordinate = 11

The y-coordinate = -13

Therefore, the coordinates of the point on the line segment between A (3 , -5) and B (13 , -15) given that the point is 4/5 of the way from A to B would be: (11 , -13)

If (a+10) and a are in straight line find the value of a

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

a=170

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+10)=180[because being a straight line]

or, a+10=180

or,a=180-10

a=170

Therefore,a=170

Lily is cutting a piece of yarn into 3 (three) pieces. The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece, while the 3rd piece is

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The length of the first piece = 41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the first piece = a

Let the length of the second piece = b

Let the length of the third piece = c

we are given the following:

b = 3a . . . . . (1) (The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece)

c = 6 + a . . . . (2) (the 3rd piece is 6 centimeters longer than the 1st piece)

a + b + c = 211 . . . . . (3) ( the yarn has a total length of 211 centimeters)

Next, let us eliminate two variables, and this can easily be done by substituting the values of b and c in equations 1 and 2 into equation 3. this is done as follows:

a + b + c = 211

a + (3a) + (6 + a) = 211 ( remember that b = 3a; c = 6 + a)

a + 3a + 6 + a = 211

5a + 6 = 211

5a = 211 - 6 = 205

5a = 205

∴ a = 205 ÷ 5 = 41 cm

a = 41 cm

Therefore the length of the first piece (a) = 41 cm

now finding b and c

substituting a into equation 1 and 2

b = 3a

b = 3 × 41 = 123

∴ b = 123 cm

c = 6 + a

c = 6 + 41 = 47

∴ c = 47 cm
