Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of the point is 1/4 of the way from A (-6, -3) to B (6, 1), we are going to be using the midpoint formula, which states that:

The midpoint is at (\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2}). Where:

(x_{1}, x_{2}) = (-6, 6)

(y_{1}, y_{2}) = (-3, 1)

Then, the midpoint is at:

(\frac{-6 +6 }{2}, \frac{-3+1}{2}) = (0, -1)

Now, to find the coordinates of the point that is 1/4 of the way, we are going to calculate the midpoint between the point 'A' and the midpoint previously caculated, as follows:

(x_{1}, x_{2}) = (-6, 0)

(y_{1}, y_{2}) = (-3, -1)

⇒ (\frac{-6 +0}{2}, \frac{-3-1}{2}) = (-3, -2)

Therefore, the point is 1/4 of the way from A to B is:  (-3, -2)

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$70.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the cost per gallon of the gas.

The person in front bought 15 gals at $40.50. The price of each gallon will therefore be:

40.50 / 15 = $2.70

You need to buy 26 gallons. The cost will be:

26 * 2.70 = $70.20

You will spend $70.20.

The following graph shows a proportional relationship.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is thus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the green line passes through (6, 6) and has a y-intercept of 0.  Thus, the equation of the line is y = (6/6)x + 0, or y = x, or y = 1x.

The constant of proportionality is thus 1, which is also the slope of this line.

A chain has a ribbon tied to it every 2/3 foot. If the chain is 10 2/3 feet long, how many ribbons are tied to the chain??
patriot [66]

Answer:

16 ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the chain as 10\frac{2}{3} and there is a ribbon tied to it every \frac{2}{3}, we can take the total length of the chain and divide by the measure of \frac{2}{3}:

10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}

\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{96}{6}=16

When dividing with fractions, we use the rule of 'keep/change/flip' to keep the first fractions, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
