On a number line, the directed line segment from Q to S has endpoints Q at –8 and S at 12. Point R partitions the directed line

segment from Q to S in a 4:1 ratio. Which expression correctly uses the formula (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1 to find the location of point R? (StartFraction 1 Over 1 + 4 EndFraction) (12 minus (negative 8)) + (negative 8) (StartFraction 4 Over 4 + 1 EndFraction) (12 minus (negative 8)) + (negative 8) (StartFraction 4 Over 4 + 1 EndFraction) (negative 8 minus 12) + 12 (StartFraction 4 Over 1 + 4 EndFraction) (negative 8 minus 12) + 12

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula is

x=\dfrac{m}{m+n}(x_2-x_1)+x_1

It is given that a line segment has endpoints Q at –8 and S at 12. Point R partitions the directed line segment from Q to S in a 4:1 ratio. It means

m=4

n=1

x_1=-8

x_2=12

Substitute these values in the given formula.

x=\dfrac{4}{4+1}(12-(-8))+(-8)

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

We have the equation:

3x - 5y = 15

a) We want to create a table with at least 4 points.

To do this, first, let's write the equation as a function: We must isolate one of the variables. Let's isolate y.

5y = 3x - 15

y = (3/5)*x - 3.

Then we have a linear equation.

Now, we can input different values of x, and see what value takes y in each case, then in this way we can be sure that the points will be on the line.

x = 0.

y = (3/5)*0 - 3

y = -3

Then we have the point (0, -3).

x = 1.

y = (3/5)*1 - 3 = 3/5 - 15/5 = -12/5

y = -12/5

Then we have the point (1, -12/5)

x = 5

y = (3/5)*5 - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0

y = 0

then we have the point (5, 0)

x = 10

y = (3/5)*10 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3

y = 3

Then we have the point (10, 3).

Now we can create the table

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&y\\0&-3\\1&-12/5\\5&0\\10&3\end{array}\right]

Below you can see a graph, where the blue dots are our 4 points, and the green line is the line that represents the equation.
