Answer:

  (4, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of interest is ...

  P = (2Z +1Y)/(2+1) = ((2·3+6)/3, (2·9+3)/3)

  P = (4, 7)

__

The point that divides the segment into the ratio a:b is the weighted average of the endpoints, with the weights being "b" and "a". The weight of the first end point corresponds to the length of the far end of the segment.

Answer:

(4,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the coordinates of the the point that divides the line segment directed from Y to Z in the ratio of 2:1.

Y(6,3)=(x_1,y_1) and Z(3,9)=(x_2,y_2)

We will use section formula to solve our given problem.

When a point P divides a line segment AB internally in the ratio m:n, then

[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

[x=\frac{2\cdot 3+1\cdot 6}{2+1},y=\frac{2\cdot 9+1\cdot 3}{2+1}]

[x=\frac{6+6}{3},y=\frac{18+3}{3}]

[x=\frac{12}{3},y=\frac{21}{3}]

[x=4,y=7]

Therefore, the coordinates of point would be (4,7).

Rita bought some large packets of salt weighing 500grams each and some small packets of salt weighing 200 grams each. If she has
Rama09 [41]
L+S=8, L=8-S

500L+200S=2200, using L from above in this equation gives you:

500(8-S)+200S=2200

4000-500S+200S=2200

4000-300S=2200

-300S=-1800

S=6, and since L=8-S:

L=2

So Rita bought 2 large packets and 6 small packets.
