Find the slope and reduce of p=(3/4,1 1/4) q=(-1/2,-1)

sergij07 [2.7K]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
p&({{ \frac{3}{4}}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{1}{4}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
q&({{ -\frac{1}{2}}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})
\end{array}$

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-1-\frac{1}{4}}{-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4}}\quad \cfrac{\leftarrow LCD=4}{\leftarrow LCD=4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{-4-1}{4}}{\frac{-2\cdot 1-3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{-5}{4}}{\frac{-5}{4}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{-5}\implies 1$

I don't think I can remember every skill I was taught through the years but in Kindergarten we used Number Sense so we could understand the meaning of more and less also there's estimation and PEMDAS. I've also learned how to round up so that the solution is at least around those numbers if the skill is to be applied.

Find the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2 if A is at (1, 2) and B is at (8, 16).

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Since M divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2, we can say that M is 5/(5+2) of the length of AB. Therefore 5/7 × AB.
distance of AB = d
5/7×(x2 - x1) for the x and 5/7×(y2 - y1) for the y
5/7×(8 - 1) = 5/7 (7) = 5 for the x
and 5/7×(16 - 2) = 5/7 (14) = 10 for the y
But remember the line AB starts at A (1, 2),
so add 1 to the x: 5+1 = 6
and add 2 to the y: 10+2 = 12
Therefore the point M lies exactly at...
A) (6, 12)
