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)

A ship is sailing on the sea. It travels 50 miles at 60° to the horizontal. Then the ship travels 90 miles at 30° to the horizon
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

(25\sqrt{3}+45)\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The total vertical distance (total miles North) traveled is equal to

d=50sin(60^o)+90sin(30^o)

Remember that

sin(60^o)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

sin(30^o)=\frac{1}{2}

substitute

d=50(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})+90(\frac{1}{2})

d=(25\sqrt{3}+45)\ miles

What is the slope between the two points?<br> (6,8 ) and (-3, 8 )
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

slope=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = ΔY /ΔX =0  

ΔX = -3 – 6 = -9

ΔY = 8 – 8 = 0

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √81 = 9

Equation of the line:

y = 0x + 8

When x=0, y = 8

Leonard and Liam each own a collection of vintage cars. Leonard has 7 cars more than Liam has. Three times the number of cars Le
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: The answer is (22, 15).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that 'x' represents the number of cars Leonard has and 'y' represents the number of cars Liam has.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x-y=7,\\\\3x+2y=96.

Multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding to the second equation, we have

2x+3x=14+96\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=110\\\\\Rightarrow x=22.

So,

y=x-7=22-7=15.

Therefore, Leonard has 22 cars and Liam has 15 cars.

Thus, (22, 15) is the solution to the given system.
