Answer:

C. (-1.5, 8.875)

Step-by-step explanation:

on a coordinate plane if point(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is divided by a point p in ratio of m:n then coordinate of point p is given by

p = (nx1 + mx2/ m+n, ny1+my2/m+n)

_______________________________________________

Given point

A (-9, 4) and B (11, 17)

ratio 3:5

m:n = 3:5

m+n = 3+5 = 8

coordinate of point p that partition AB

x = (5*-9 + 3*11) / 5+3                   y =    (5*4 + 3*17) / 5+3

x = (-45 + 33) / 8                          y =    (20 + 51) / 8

x = (-12) / 8                                     y =    (71) / 8

x = -3 / 2 = -1.5                                    y =    8.875

Thus, coordinate of point p is (-1.5, 8.875).

1. 2x+3<-3 = x<-3
You get this by subtracting 3 from both sides, which gives you -6. Then divide 2 from both sides.

2. -3x<-6 = x>2
You divide -3 from both sides. You must switch the sign because any time you multiply or divide a negative integer from both sides of an inequality the sign is switched.

3. -5x<5 = x>1
See number 2

4. 5-2x<11 = x>-3
Subtract 5 from both sides to get -2x<6. Then, divide both sides by -2 and switch the sign.

5. x+2<5 = x<3
Subtract 2 from both sides

6. 2-3x<5 = x>-1
Subtract 2 from both sides to get -3x<3. Then, divide -3 from both sides and switch the sign.

write an equation for a line that is parallel to line that passes through the points (5,5),(-1,3) and contains the point (-6,-8)
dimaraw [331]
Since the two lines are parallel then they have the same slope which = 1/3

since the line passes through (-6 , -8)

y+8 = (1/3)(x+6)

3y + 24 = x + 6

x - 3y = 18 is the equation

if you spin the spinner twice what is the probability of spinning orange then brown? If you spin the spinner twice what is the p
Nesterboy [21]
Multiply the two probabilities together.
Probability of spinning orange: 2/6 or 1/3
Probability of spinning brown: 3/6 or 1/2.

1/3 * 1/2= 1/6
1/2 * 1/2= 1/4

Final answers: For q1= 1/6; For q2= 1/4
