Answer:

B ( 5 , 3/4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

We are given two points in the cartesian coordinate system as:

                    A ( -5 , 2 )              C ( 11, 0 )

The point B lies on the line segment from A to C. The ratio of segment given is:

                               AB / BC = 5 / 3

To solve such type of problems. We will use vector equation of line AC.

To form a vector equation of line representing AC. We will first determine the direction vector ( d ) that is parallel to the line AC as follows:

                  d = OC - OA

                  d = < 11, 0 > - < -5,2 >

                  d = < 16 , -2 >

The fixed point on the line is taken. We will take point A. The vector equation of line from point A to point C is expressed as:

                 < x , y > = OA + t*d

                 < x , y > = < -5, 2 > + t* < 16 , - 2 >  

The above equation satisfies all the points that lies on the line AC. To determine the coordinates of ( B ). We will plug in the appropriate value of parameter ( t ) and evaluate. We are given the ratio 5:3.

So point B is 5/8 th the magnitude of the distance AC from A. Hence, t = 5/8 as follows:

                < x , y > = < -5 , 2 > + ( 5/8 ) * < 16 , -2 >

                < x , y > = < -5 , 2 > + < 10 , -5/4 >

                < x , y > = < 5 , 3/4 >   ... Answer

Describe two to evaluate 37% of the sum of 27 and 3/5 and 15.9
zhuklara [117]
First way is to first find the sum and then find 37% of it. Second way is another way round, find 37 of 27 3/5 and 37% of 15.9 and then add it.

Lets do it
37%=0.37
- its the result
Second way its
0.37* 27 3/5 + 0.37*15.9=10.212 + 5.888=16.095

Hal earns $5 a week doing chores for his parents. He also earns $10 a week for each dog, d, he walks.
sammy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 5 + 10d

The variable "d" is the independent variable because its value does not depend on another variable. The variable "m" is the dependent variable because its value depends on the value of the variable "d"
