So you just subsitute -3 for x
f(-3)=-(-3)+15
f(-3)=3+15
f(-3)=18
answer is C
18

Given points A(-1, -2) and B(2, 4) where AP: BP=1:2, find the locus of point P.

koban [17]

Answer:

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-1,-2)$

$B = (2,4)$

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Required

The locus of P

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Express as fraction

$\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}$

Cross multiply

$2AP = BP$

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

$2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

Take square of both sides

$4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2$

Evaluate all squares

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16$

Collect and evaluate like terms

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Open brackets

$4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Collect like terms

$4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y + 20 - 20 = 0$

$3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y = 0$

Divide through by 3

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$

PLZ HELP ME WITH GEOMETRY

Helga [31]

You just need to use your test-taking skill to eliminate the wrong answers here.

There is no such thing as a "Congruent Angles Postulate," so the last two choices can be eliminated.

The AA Similarity Postulate refers to triangles, not angles, so the second choice can be eliminated.

That only leaves the (correct) first choice.
