Find the coordinates of the point three tenths of the way from A(-4, -8) to B(11, 7)

Mathematics

let's first off take a peek at those values.

let's say the point with those coordinates is point C, so C is 3/10 of the way from A to B.

meaning, we take the segment AB and cut it in 10 equal pieces, AC takes 3 pieces, and CB takes 7 pieces, namely AC and CB are at a 3:7 ratio.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(-4,-8)\qquad B(11,7)\qquad
\qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{3:7}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{A\underline{C}}{\underline{C} B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies 7A=3B\implies 7(-4,-8)=3(11,7)\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill\\\\
C=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill


\bf C=\left(\cfrac{(7\cdot -4)+(3\cdot 11)}{3+7}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(7\cdot -8)+(3\cdot 7)}{3+7}\right)
\\\\\\
C=\left( \cfrac{-28+33}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{-56+21}{10} \right)\implies C=\left( \cfrac{5}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{-35}{10} \right)
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
~\hfill C=\left( \frac{1}{2}~,~-\frac{7}{2} \right)~\hfill

What’s the x and y intercepts of this equation: -3x-7y=84
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The X and Y intercepts to the equation -3x - 7y = 84 is

x-intercept (s): (−28,0)

y-intercept (s): (0,−12)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in 0 for y and solve for x

−3x−7⋅0=84

Solve the equation.

x=−28

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept (s): (−28,0)

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in 0 for x and solve for y .

−3⋅0−7y=84

Solve the equation.

y=−12

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept (s): (0,−12)

Hope this helps.

Complete the table Y=6x-4
viktelen [127]

Answer:

With Two points is enough to describe this graph

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{4}{6} &0\\0&-4\\\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

Interception with Y axis (y=0), thus we have the following equation:

0=6*x+4

x=4/6

The point for this is (4/6 , 0)

Interception with x axis (x=0), thus we have the following equation:

Y=4*0-4

y=-4

The point for this is (0, -4)
