Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
collinear.
Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
= 8.9443
Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
= 4.4721
Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.
Answer: 2:1 ratio.
Answer:
x= -8 , y = 5
x= 25/4 , y = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute first eqn into the second eqn:
(7 - 3y)^2 -y^2 = 39
49 - 42y + 9y^2 - y^2 = 39
8y^2 - 42y +10 =0
4y^2 - 21y + 5 = 0
(4y-1) (y-5) = 0
y= 1/4 , 5
when y=1/4
x = 7- 3/4
=25/4
when y= 5
x = 7- 15
= -8
50,000 ÷ 250 = 200
This means that there are 200 seats in each section.
A graphing calculator can do a linear regression on these points very easily. The y-intercept is 107.

If you want to do this by hand, you can use the 2-point form of the equation for a line, then evaluate for x=0.
.. y = (100 -102)/(35 -25)*(x -25) +102
.. y =-2/10*(0 -25) +102
.. y = 107
