Bryan is observing the velocity of a cyclist at different times. After four hours, the velocity of the cyclist is 15 km/h. After

Gnoma [55]

The best way to solve this problem is to graph all variables, velocity being the dependent variable (y-axis) and time being the independent variable (x-axis) . Since we are given two points for the two variables, we use the point-slope formula to get the slope which happens to be -1. We then use the standard form y = mx + b and substitute m with -1. Next we want to find b, we will again use the point slope formula now knowing m to be -1. we chose point 0 for time(x-axis) and at zero, we obtain a value of your b which happens to be +19. A line graph would better visualize my point. Cheers!

find the ratio which are the points p(X,2) divides the line segment joining the point a(12,5) and b(4,-3) also find X plz give a

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: ratio a:b = 3:5 p(X, 2) = p(9, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot points a = (12, 5) and b = (4, -3) and draw a line segment from a to b.

Notice that when y = 2, X = 9 so point p = (9, 2) see graph

The distance from a to p = 3√2

The distance from b to p = 5√2

So the ratio of a:b = 3√2:5√2 = 3:5 when simplified

To find the distance, use the distance formula OR pythagorean theorem.
