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

x_B=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\\ = \frac{(3)(7)+(2)(-8)}{3+2}\\=\frac{21-16}{5}\\=\frac{5}{5}\\=1\\y_B=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\=\frac{(3)(-13)+(2)(7)}{3+2}\\=\frac{-39+14}{5}\\=\frac{-25}{5}\\=-5

The coordinates of point B are (1,-5)

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Answer:

  5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

The height is found by solving this equation for h:

  2A/(b1 +b2) = h

  h = 2(25.5)/(3.2 +7) = 51/10.2 = 5 . . . . fill in the given values

The height of the trapezoid is 5 feet.

How to use substitution to solve system of equations
svlad2 [7]

Answer: See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you have a System of two equations. You can solve this System using the Substitution Method.

In order to use that method to solve the System of equations, you can follow the steps shown below:

Step 1: You must choose one of the equations of the system and solve for one of the variables. Let's call this new equation "Equation A"

Step 2: Then you must substitute"Equation A" into the other equation.

Step 3: Now you must solve for the other variable in order to find its value.

Step 4: Finally, you need to substitute the value of the variable obtained in the previous step, into the "Equation A" and then evaluate in order to find the value of the other varibale.

(Note: You can also substitute the value of the variable calculated in Step 3 into any original equation and solve for the other variable to find its value).

F(x) = x2 – 2x - 8
maw [93]

Answer:

The y-intercept is the point (0,-8)

see the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x^{2}-2x-8

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

f(x)=0^{2}-2(0)-8\\f(x)=-8

therefore

The y-intercept is the point (0,-8)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
