J Coordinates: (-2,8)

R Coordinates: (-7,-3)

A cuts JR in the ratio of 5:2

We have to find out the coordinates for A. Let coordinates of A be (x,y)

The section formula helps us determine a point (x,y) that divides the line joining two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in the ratio of m:n

x1, y1 represents the point which is more on the left side of the x axis, while x2,y2 represents the point which is more on the right side of the x axis

So here x1 = -7, y1 = -3, x2 = -2, y2 = 8, m = 5, n = 2

As per section formula, x = (mx₂ + nx₁) / (m + n), and y = (my ₂ + ny₁) / (m + n))

⇒ x = ((5*-2) + (2*-7)) / (7)

⇒ x = (-10+ (-14)) / (7)

⇒ x = -24 / 7

⇒ x = -3.43

and y = ((5*8) + (2*-3)) / (7)

⇒ y = (40 - 6) / 7

⇒ y = 4.86

So coordinates of A are (-3.43,4.86)

Please see the attached image for seeing the points and line on chart.

Cities A & B are 5 inches apart on a map. Cities Ce Dare 4 inches apart. If C & D are 900 miles apart how many miles apa
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<u>Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance between A and B in the map = 5 inches

Distance between C and D in the map = 4 inches

Real distance between C and D = 900 miles

2. How many miles apart are cities A and B?

We will solve the question, using Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Distance in the map      Real distance

A - B     5 inches                    x

C - D     4 inches                900 miles

***************************************************

4x = 900 * 5

4x = 4,500

x = 4,500/4

x = 1,125 miles

<u>Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart</u>

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. y = –5/2 x – 7 x + 2y = 4 What is the solution to the system of linear equatio
Anestetic [448]

Keywords

system; linear equations; graphing; solution

we have

y=-\frac{5}{2}x-7 -------> equation A

x+2y=4

x=4-2y ----> equation B

The <u>system</u> of <u>linear equations</u> is composed of equation A and equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A

y=-\frac{5}{2}[4-2y]-7

y=-10+5y-7

4y=17

y=17/4=4.25

Find the value of x

x=4-2[17/4]=-4.5

The<u> solution</u> is the point (-4.5,4.25)

Using a <u>graphing</u> tool

see the attached figure

therefore

the answer is the option A

(-4.5,4.25)

Which of the following is not an equation of a simple, even polynomial function? y = | x | y = x2 y = x3 y = -x2
den301095 [7]

Answer:

  • y = | x |
  • y = x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function prevents the expression from being a polynomial. The degree of 3 in y^3 is an odd number so that polynomial function will not be even.
