Segment PH is graphed on the coordinate grid where P is (-31,8) and H is (29,-10). Point E is the midpoint of segment PH. If poi
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

- The coordinates of point P are (-31 , 8)

- The coordinates of point H are (29 , -10)

- Point E is the mid-point of segment PH

- The coordinates of the the mid-point are:

→ x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} and y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

∵ E is the mid-point of segment PH

∴ The x-coordinate of point E is x=\frac{-31+29}{2}=-1

∴ The x-coordinate of point E is -1

∴ The y-coordinate of point E is y=\frac{8+-10}{2}=-1

∴ The y-coordinate of point E is -1

∴ The coordinates of point E are (-1 , -1)

- Point A is graphed \frac{2}{3} of the way along the segment from P to E

- That mean the distances from points P to A is 2 parts and from P to E

  is 3 parts, then the distance from A to E is "3 - 2" = 1 part

- So point A divides the line segment PE at ratio 2 : 1 from P

- The coordinates of the division point are:

→ x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} and y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

∵ Point A divides PE at ratio 2 : 1

∵ The coordinates of point P are (-31 , 8)

∵ The coordinates of point E are (-1 , -1)

∴ The x-coordinate of point A is x=\frac{(-31)(1)+(-1)(2)}{2+1}= -11

∴ The x-coordinate of point A is -11

∴ The y-coordinate of point A is x=\frac{(8)(1)+(-1)(2)}{2+1}=2

∴ The y-coordinate of point A is 2

∴ The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

* The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

Which of the following is the solution of 5x – 6 = 44?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 6 = 44

Add 6 on both sides of the equation.

5x = 50

Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation.

x = 10

So, the value of x is equal to 10
