Write Y+2=1/3x in standard form

solong [7]

The standard form of a line is in the form

$Ax + By = C$

A, B and C are integers, and A is positive. Let's start with multiplying the whole equation by 3 to get rid of denominators:

$3y+6=x$

Subtract 3y from both sides:

$6=x-3y$

Which of course is equivalent to

$x-3y=6$

Which is the standard form, given the coefficients A=1, B=-3, C=6.

A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marin

Tanya [424]

Let the coordinates of the treasure be (x,y).
Let $d_{1}$ = distance from the rock to the treasure.
Let $d_{2}$ = distance from the tree to the treasure.
$d_{1} = \sqrt{(x\2 + (y-2)^2}$
$d_{2} = \sqrt{(16-x)^2 + (21-y)^2}$
We want $\frac{ d_{1} }{ d_{2} }$ = 5/9 in order to locate the treasure.

Note that 5/9 = 0.556 (approx)
Test (11.4, 14.2)
d1 = 14.8, d2 = 8.2, d1/d2 = 1.8 Incorrect
Test (7.6, 8.8)
d1 = 8.2, d2 = 14.8, d1/d2 = 0.554 Correct
Test (5.7, 7.5)
d1 = 6.13, d2 = 16.98, d1/d2 = 0.36 Incorrect
Test (10.2, 12.6)
d1 = 12.8, d2 = 10.2, d1/d2 = 1.255 Incorrect

Answer: The correct answer is (7.6, 8.8)
