Given:
Endpoints of segment AB are A(- 18, 5) and B(- 4, 5).
Point Z is located exactly 1/8 of the distance from A to B.
To find:
The value of the x-coordinate of point Z.
Solution:
Point Z is located exactly 1/8 of the distance from A to B.
AZ:AB=1:8
AZ:ZB = AZ:(AB-AZ)= 1:(8-1) = 1:7
It means point Z divided segment AB in 1:7.
Using section formula, the x coordinate of point Z is





Therefore, the required x-coordinate of point Z is -16.25.

Answer:
Slope(m) = 16
Y intercept (c) = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Points : (x1, y1) = (2, 55)
(x2, y2) = (4, 87)
Using two point form to calculate slope:


m = 16
To find y intercept:
Take any one point ans slope :
Using slope point formula:
y = mx + c
87 = 16(4) + c
Solving for c:
c = 23
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator
In this problem we have
and 
Both numerator are equal
Compare the denominators

therefore
is the largest rational number
