Answer:

(-\frac{3}{8},2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Z divides XY into a 5:3 ratio, so Z is 5/3 of the way from X to Y.  That ratio is k, found by writing the numerator of the ratio (5) over the sum of the numerator and the denominator (5 + 3 = 8).  Our k value is 5/8.  Now we will find the rise and run values which is the slope of this line segment:

m=\frac{2-2}{-6-9} =\frac{0}{-15}

Coordinates are found in this formula:

Z(x,y)=(x_{1}+k(run),y_{1} +k(rise))

Filling that in:

Z(x,y)=(9+\frac{5}{8}(-15),2+\frac{5}{8}(0))

which simplifies to

Z(x,y)=(9-\frac{75}{8},2+0)

which gives us the final coordinates of Z to be Z(x,y)=(-\frac{3}{8},2)

Bess [88]

Answer:

The equation to describe the situation is  p-3=17.

And, the total weight of the basket of apples was <u>20 pounds</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is incomplete so, the complete question is below:</em></u>

Liang bought a basket of apples to make pies for her friends. The basket of apples weighed p pounds. Before she had time to make the pies, she ate 3 pounds of apples. There are 17 pounds of apples left to make pies. Write an equation to describe this situation. What was the total weight of the basket of apples?

Now, to write an equation to describe the situation. And to find the total weight of the basket of apples.

So, the basket of apples total weighed = p\ pounds.

Liang ate apples weighed = 3 pounds.

And the apples left for the pies weighed = 17 pounds.

Now, to write an equation describing the situation:

p-3=17.

<u><em>Thus, the equation is </em></u>p-3=17.<u><em /></u>

Now, to get the total weight of the basket of apples:

p-3=17\\\\Adding\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\p=20

<u><em>Hence, the basket of apples total weighed = 20 pounds.</em></u>

Therefore, the equation to describe the situation is p-3=17.

And, the total weight of the basket of apples was 20 pounds.

Bongeka purchased a new refrigerator and were expected to pay R1 684,00 five months ago and another R1 323,00 in eight months’ t
Dmitriy789 [7]

The discount factor computed shows that the value of each payment will be $1546.

<h3>How to calculate the payment?</h3>

The following can be deduced from the information:

Payment due in 5 months = $1684

Payment due in 8 months = $1323

Annual interest  = 11.40%

Monthly interest rate = 11.40%/12 = 0.95%

Present value of payment due 5 months ago = $1684 + (1 + 0.95%)⁵ = $1765.52

Present value of payment due 8 months ago = $1226.62

Total present value = $1765.52 + $1226.62 = $2992.14

After rescheduling, the payments will be in 2 months and 5 months.

Discount factor for payment due in 2 months = 0.9813

Discount factor for payment due in 5 months = 0.9538

Combined discount factors= 0.9360

Therefore, the value of each payment will be:

= $2992.14/(1 + 0.9360)

= $1546
