The coordinates of the endpoints of directed line sergeant ABC are A(-8,7) and C(7,-13). If AB:BC = 3:2 then the coordinates of
1 answer:
The correct answer is A) (1,-5)
Further explanation:
Given points are:
A(-8,7)=(x1,y1)
C(7,13)=(x2,y2)
IT is also given that
AB:BC=3:2
Which means that B divides the line segment in 3:2
Here,
m=3
n=2
To find the coordinates of B
The coordinates of point B are (1,-5)
The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

ANSWER
Find out the how much fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so that the new mixture is 60% antifreeze .
To proof
let us assume that the fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze be x .
As given
A radiator contains 10 quarts of fluid, 30% of which is antifreeze.
Now write 30% in the decimal form
Now write 60% in the decimal form
After drained and replaced the fluid with pure antifreeze than the quantity becomes = ( 10 - x )
The quantity of antifreeze is
The fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so that the new mixture is 60% antifreeze .
than the equation becomes
solyving
100x +300 - 30x = 600
70x = 300
x = 4.28 quarts (approx)
Hence 4.28 quarts (approx) fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so that the new mixture is 60% antifreeze .
Therefore the option (c.) is correct .
