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)

Find the x and y intercepts for the equation 3x-2.5y = 30.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Answer: x-int = 10 and y-int = -12

Explanation:

Find x intercept:

To find x intercept set y = 0

3x - 2.5(0) = 30

3x = 30
x = 10

Find y-int:
Set x = 0

3(0) - 2.5y = 30
-2.5y = 30
y = 30/-2.5
y = -12
