Answer: 4:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point P is \dfrac{4}{7} of the distance from M to N.

To find: The ratio in which the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N.

If Point P is between points M and N, then the ratio can be written as

\dfrac{MP}{MN}=\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}

As per given,

\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}=\dfrac{4}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{MP}{MP}+\dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ -1+\dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}-1=\dfrac{7-4}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{3}{4}\ \ \or\ \dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Hence, P partition the directed line segment from M to N in 4:3.

Which statement describes the effect on the parabola y = x2 - 1 when it is changed to y = x2 +6?
zlopas [31]

Initial:

y=x^2-1

Changed to:

y=x^2+6

As you can see the change is: from -1 to +6.

In a equation as follow:

y=x^2+k

The k is a transformation that moves up or down the graph of the function. If k is changed to a less value the graph moves down, If k is changed to a greather number the graph moves up.

In this case the graph moves up

To find the number of units the graph moves find the difference betwwen values of k:

6-(-1)=7

Then, the parabola y=x²-1 is moved 7 units up when it is changed to y=x²+6

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx represents a proportional relationship between x and y

where,

k is the constant of proportionality

Given:

d = st

Where,

d = distance

s = speed

t = time

The constant of proportionality of the quantities d, s and t is speed(s)

Speed(s) remains constant at a given time and distance

The equation can be written in different forms below:

d = st

S = d/t

t = d/s

Real world example of proportional relationships

• F=ma

Where,

F=Force

m=mass

a=acceleration

F=ma is used to calculate force
