Answer:

The distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √  ((X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2)

d = √ (5-2)2+(3-8)2

d = √ ((3)2+(-5)2)

d = √ (9+25)

d = √ 34

The distance between the points is 5.8309518948453

The midpoint of two points is given by the formula

Midpoint= ((X1+X2)/2,(Y1+Y2)/2)

Find the x value of the midpoint

Xm=(X1+X2)/2

Xm=(2+5)/2=3.5

Find the Y value of the midpoint

Ym=(Y1+Y2)/2

Ym=(8+3)/2=5.5

The midpoint is: (3.5,5.5)

Graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

P1 (2,8)

P2 (5,3)

Midpoint (3.5,5.5)

The length of the black line is the distance between the points (5.8309518948453)

Find the slope of the line connecting the two points

Slope =  (Y2-Y1)  =  (3-8)  =  (-5)  = -1.66666666666667

(X2-X1) (5-2) (3)

Find the equation of the line passing through the two points

The general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

Where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -1.66666666666667

y = -1.67x + b

We substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (2,8)

8 = -1.67×2 + b

8 = -3.33 + b

8--3.33 = b

11.33 = b

Knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -1.67x+ 11.33

X and Y intercepts

The x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

Using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -1.67x+ 11.33

0= -1.67x+ 11.33

1.67x= 11.33

x= 11.33/1.67 = 6.80

The x intercept for this straight line is 6.80

The y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

Using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -1.67×0+ 11.33

y= 11.33

The y intercept for this straight line is 6.80

ANSWER

The correct answer is C

EXPLANATION

We want to find the quotient:

-  \frac{10}{19}  \div ( -  \frac{5}{7} )

We multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

-  \frac{10}{19}   \times  ( -  \frac{7}{5} )

We cancel out the common factors to obtain:

-  \frac{2}{19}   \times  ( -  \frac{7}{1} )

We multiply to get

\frac{ - 2 \times  - 7}{19 \times 1}

This simplifies to :

\frac{14}{19}

The correct answer is C

If u= &lt;4,5&gt; and v= &lt;0,-1&gt;, find 2v+5u
GaryK [48]

Answer:

<20,23>

Step-by-step explanation:

u= <4,5> and v= <0,-1>

2v = 2*<0,-1> = <0,-2>

5u = 5* <4,5> = <20,25>

2v+5u = <0,-2> + <20,25>

            = <20,23>
