Answer: (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You follow the formulas to find the x and y of the dividing points.

Xp= x1+ a/a+b (x2-x1)

Xp= 10+5/5+3(-6-10)

Xp=10+5/8(-16)

Solve the problem above and you end up with “0” as your x.

Yp= y1+ a/a+b (y2-y1)

Yp= -2+ 5/8 (6+2)

Yp= -2+ 5/8 (8)

Solve this problem above and you end up with “3” as your y. Therefore, the point that divides the line segment between (10, -2) and (-6,6) into a ratio of 5:3 is (0, 3).

Find all points having an x-coordinate of 2 whose distance from the point (-1,-2) is 5

xxTIMURxx [149]

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\
5=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-2-y_1)^2}\\
\sqrt{9+4+4y_1+y_1^2}=5\\
y_1^2+4y_1+13=25\\
y_1^2+4y_1-12=0\\
y_1^2+6y_1-2y_1-12=0\\
y_1(y_1+6)-2(y_1+6)=0\\
(y_1-2)(y_1+6)=0\\
y_1=2 \vee y_1=-6\\\\
\boxed{(2,2),(-6,2)}

Are the two triangles similar? Explain your answer.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion They are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size

Triangle ABC 54 +68 + 58 = 180

Triangle EFG 68 +63 +49 = 180

In this case their corresponding angles are nor congruent
