Let point C has coordinates (x_C,y_C). Consider vectors

\overrightarrow{AB}=(x_B-x_A,y_B-y_A)=(8-9,6-9)=(-1,-3),\\ \\\overrightarrow{BC}=(x_C-x_B,y_C-y_B)=(x_C-8,y_C-6).

Since the ratio AB to BC is 1:4, you have that

\dfrac{-1}{x_C-8}=\dfrac{1}{4}\quad \text{and}\quad \dfrac{-3}{y_C-6}=\dfrac{1}{4}.

Find x_C and y_C:

x_C-8=-4,\\ \\x_C=-4+8=4,\\ \\y_C-6=-3\cdot 4=-12,\\ \\y_C=-12+6=-6.

Answer: C(4,-6)

Answer:

The coordinates of C are (4, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the section formula,

The coordinate of a point that divides a line segment joining (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) in the ratio of m : n are,

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

Here,

x_1=9, y_1=9, m = 1, n = 4

Also,

\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}=8

\frac{x_2+36}{1+4}=8

x_2+36=40

x_2=4

\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}=6

\frac{y_2+36}{5}=6

y_2+36=30

y_2=-6

Hence, the coordinates of C are (4, -6)

10 - d = -34 - 5d show the work
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

d = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - d = -34 - 5d

10 (- d + d) = -34 (- 5d + d)

10 = -34 - 4d

10 + 34 = (-34 + 34) - 4d

44 = 4d

44/4 = 4d/4

d = 11

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,3) and has a slope of -1/5 ?
deff fn [24]

Answer: y=-1/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation: use the equation y=mx+b (x,y)->(5,3) 5 is an x value and 3 is a y value so you want to plug in these values into the equation. 3=-1/5(5)+b. We already know our slope so just plug it into m. Now multiply -1/5 and 5 which is -1. 3=-1+b you want to isolate b so you can find the intercept. Add one to both sides so it cancels out. 4=b we found our y-intercept so we can write the equation now. y=-1/5x+4

Please answer fully​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

There is a 1/6 chance of rolling a certain number and 1/2 chance of getting a heads.

1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12 so C.

1 is the chance of getting the wanted number / 6 is all the numbers in total

When there are multiple chances you just multiply the fractions

Jacqueline is checking her bicycle’s wheel. The wheel has a radius of 20 cm, and its center is 51 cm above the ground. Jacquelin
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

h = 36.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given to us is:

h(t) = 51 + 20 sin(225t)

Where h(t) is the function of the height in centimeters while t represents the time in seconds.

We have to find the height h(t) when the time is equal to 19 seconds.

Substitute t=19 into the given function

h(19) = 51 + 20 sin(225(19))

h(19) = 51 + 20 sin(4275)

h(19) = 51 + 20 (-0.7071)

h(19) = 51 + (-14,1421)

h(19) = 36.8579 cm

Rounding off to nearest 10th

h = 36.9 cm
