Answer:

P ( -1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)

We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB

in the following way:

xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1

xp = -1

yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3

yp = -3

Point P( -1, -3)

Which equation is a point slope form equation for line AB ?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

$y-5=\frac{3}{4}(x-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a line in point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

step 1

Find the slope m

we have the points

A(-2,-1),B(6,5)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{5+1}{6+2}$

$m=\frac{6}{8}$

simplify

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line

we have

$(x1,y1)=(6,5)$

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

substitute

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

$y-5=\frac{3}{4}(x-6)$

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Given points: (-6, 4), (6, 10)

(-6, 4) = (x1, y1)

(6, 10) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

$\frac{10-4}{6-(-6)}$

Simplify:

10 - 4 = 6

6 - (-6) = 6 + 6 = 12

$\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}$

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (6, 10)) into the equation and solve for b:

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(6)+b$

10 = 3 + b

7 = b

The y-intercept is 7.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x+7$

The weights of 1250 pumpkins are normally distributed with mean of 28 pounds and a standard deviation of 6 pounds. About how man

This can be solved by using a standard normal distribution table. The z-score for 34 pounds is 1, the reason being that 34 is one standard deviation above the mean of 28 pounds.
Can use the table to find the cumulative probability for z = 1.00 and post the result? If you do this we can do the next simple steps.
