We have that
A(-2,-4)  B(8,1) <span>

let
M-------> </span><span>the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3

we know that

A--------------M----------------------B
        2                     3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
</span>distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
<span>so

step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
</span>Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2

step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2

the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)

see the attached figure

What is the distance between (22,-3) and (1, -3)?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Distance between two points</h2>

The y-value of the two points is unchanged. So, the line is parralel to x-axis.

The distance will be the diffrence between the x-co ordinates.

\sf Distance = 1 - (-2\dfrac{1}{2})

             \sf =1+\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\= \dfrac{2}{2}+\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{2}\\\\=3\dfrac{1}{2}

Mrs. johnson's and mr. wei's classes are participating in the Meridian School arts and crafts exhibit. Their spaces will be next
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Johnson space has 48 carpet squares.

Mr. Wei space has 36 carpet squares.

Factorize these two numbers:

48=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3\\ \\36=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3

All common factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

<u>All possibilities:</u>

1. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 1 carpet, then Ms. Johnson space length is 48 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 36 carpets.

2. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 2 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 24 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 18 carpets.

3. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 3 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 16 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 12 carpets.

4. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 4 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 12 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 9 carpets.

5. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 6 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 8 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 6 carpets.

6. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 12 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 4 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 3 carpets.

To prepare for a bake-off, Chad used 520 grams of flour each day for 2 weeks. How many kilograms did Chad use in those 2 weeks?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

7.280 k

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  1 g = 0.001 k

If he uses 520 grams of flour each day for 2 weeks, since there are 7 days in a week, the total weight of flour used in two weeks

= 520 g * 2 * 7

= 7280 g

In kilograms

Since

1 g = 0.001 k

7280 g = 7280/1 * 0.001 k

= 7.280 k
