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).

Anni [7]
Lets say pi is 3.14
The area of a circle is: pi*radius squared
The radius is half the diameter so it is 5 inches.
3.14*5 squared 2
3.14*25

What is the x intercept of the equation that passes through (1,-6) and is perpendicular to y=1/3x +1
fomenos
\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x+1\impliedby \textit{slope of this line, so a perpendicular will be}
\\\\\\
\textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{1}{3}\\\\
negative\implies  -\cfrac{1}{ 3}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{ 3}{1}\implies -3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~1 &,& -6~)
\end{array}

\bf slope =  m\implies -3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-6)=-3(x-1)
\\\\\\
y+6=-3x+3\implies 0+6=-3x+3\implies 3=-3x\implies \cfrac{3}{-3}=x
\\\\\\
-1=x\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (~-1~,~0~)

What is the answer to 10 = -4 x?
lawyer [7]
Solve for x
Divide both sides by -4
X= - 10/4
Now simplify by dividing top and bottom by 2
X= -5/2 or - 2 1/2
