Problem:
Three points have coordinates A (0 , 7) , B (8 , 3) and C (3k , k)
Find the value of the constant k for which C lies on the line that passes through A and B
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line containing points (a,b) and (c,d) is found by computing (b-d)/(a-c). This is just the change in y divided by the change in x.
The slope of a line containing points (0,7) and (8,3) is (7-3)/(0-8)=4/-8=-1/2.
The slope of a line containing points (0,7) and (3k,k) and (8,3) is still -1/2 because it doesn't matter what two points on a line you use to calculate the slope. The slope will remain the same no matter the pair of points on the line you choose for it's calculation.
So lets pretend the question is now find the point (3k,k) such that a line with slope -1/2 goes through (3k,k) and (0,7).
We want to solve the equation:
(k-7)/(3k-0)=-1/2
Simplify denominator
(k-7)/(3k)=-1/2
Cross multiple
(k-7)(2)=(-1)(3k)
Distribute or multiply
2k-14=-3k
Subtract 2k on both sides
-14=-5k
Divide both sufes by -5
-14/-5=k
Simplifying fraction
14/5=k
The answer is 3.9. In fraction form the answer is 89/10. In mixed fraction form the answer is 8 9/10
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Start from one point on figure A (-6, -3) for example. Count 12 to the right and two units down and you will find (6, -5) on the A'.
1 ) Billy walks 15 miles every day to soccer practice and he had 5 practices last week.
We know that, 1 mile = 1760 yards
So, 15 miles = (15× 1760) yards = 26400 yards
Thus the total distance walked in 5 practices will be:
2) Mark's current age is years
So, his age was in 10 years ago
Given that, his current age is 3 times his age 10 years ago.
So, the equation to represent this situation will be :
